Probably right about apt comparisons... the boar definitely do belong in that part of the world, although the news I'm reading makes it sound like they're showing up in unprecedented ways and places. Saw a cool article about the likely return of wild boar to Scotland too, by the way. I'd love to go over one day to do a hunt for red deer and boar. Thanks, Josh.

A couple of weeks back, I was able to attend a lecture by a Spanish researcher on the effects of carbon sequestration on reforestation in Europe. The good news is that the carbon market-like mechanisms are providing a way to cut back on ag. subsidies, while probably reforesting about 10% of Europe's rural land. As for wild pig "invasions" in Europe, I think a more apt analogy would be whitetail back East, since the pigs are native over there. Great post.
