It’s not hard to find worrying stories about the state of our planet’s wildlife, so it’s refreshing to hear news with a more positive spin: a wild wolf has been spotted in Belgium for the first time in over a century.
Having been driven from much of western Europe through a combination of hunting, increased industrialisation, and wider urban sprawl, these animals are now making a comeback across the continent. Belgium is the last mainland country to have reported such a sighting in recent years.
