metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Wild boar Sus scrofa populations are actively expanding northwards. Their presence
  in the North is closely tied to anthropogenic activities, as wild boars are
  either fed, or find food and suitable habitat at farmlands. However, the nature
  reserves of the northern part of Russia show that wild boars are able to survive
  on their own even in a completely natural environment. In the taiga zone, there
  are habitats providing for their survival in winter: wetlands in mires and around
  large water bodies, and dense spruce forests. Continued northwards expansion
  of wild boar range is likely if pressure from hunting is reduced. Modelling
  based on climatic variables also shows that they could potentially inhabit vast
  areas in the North. The existence of wild boars in the North is interrelated with
  other species of relatively large mammals (beavers and roe deer) and partly
  supports the idea of “Pleistocene rewilding” in a boreal environment, i. e., the
  potential to increase the variety and numbers of megafauna representatives.
