Colombia Inherited 4 Hippos From Pablo Escobar — 40 Years Later, They’re Rewriting an Entire River

What makes this important is that the hippo is taking the biologival place of lost pleitocene animals and has begun rebuilding that biome.  today we are just relearning how to eco engineer the global environment and nothing is truly green field.

We are slowly learning how to optimise and protect aagriculture as well.

The wild is dangerous and we can actually handle and manage that mostly through excclusion.
