What have we done
Since there are no such protected areas in Slovakia, where any human activity would be excluded, and hunting and logging take place in each national park and reserve, WOLF is creating a network of private reserves, in which plants and animals have the possibility to evolve their environment towards maximum stability without any human intervention and to live their own proper and undisturbed lives. We call this network Evolution forests®. Our long-term vision is a network of an area of 4,000 km2 (1,500 square miles).
