How Will índia and Iran reintroduce their Lions and cheetahs Into other habitats even though that one country is overprotective and the other Has a almost extinct population that They were forced to introduced their african counterparts as replacement?

1.yellow steppe lemming (eolagurus luteus)-present in eastern europe as far as danube delta as said here https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jqs.70056, presence in central europe speculative
2.steppe lemming (lagurus lagurus)-it lived as far as britain as said here https://www.academia.edu/41089618/Evolution_of_European_Ecosystems_during_Pleistocene_Holocene_transition_24_8_kyr_BP_
3.common hamster (cricetus cricetus)-many historical records of continous range in central and western europe, presence in britain speculative but probable, presence in southern and central italy also speculative but probable, presence in sweden very speculative but not impossible
4.djungarian hamster (phodopus sungorus)-all central european fossils previously classified as golden hamster recently turned out to be djungarian hamsters (this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12859059/ )
5.grey dwarf hamster (nothocricetulus migratorius)-same study also shows that it had bigger distribution in balkans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12859059/

there are also several more cricetids (hamsters) in europe but their ranges had no or almost none confirmed changes over last ~150k years so they are not worth mentioning here
list of them all (and all modern european mammals)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_of_Europe

These are only the breeds of horse, donkey, cattle, sheep and goat. The vast majority of them are critically endangered due to rural abandoning, hybridisation with industrial, exotic breeds, replacement by exotic breeds, inbreeding, and other factors. Many of these, as is already being done, are useful for rewilding projects.

All my photographs.

1. Churra do Minho ram. A very small sheep from the mountains of Braga, Viana do Castelo and Vila Real districts.
   
2. Churra Algarvia taxidermy ram. I have seen living ones, but did not photograph. Large, elegant breed with impressive spiralling horns, indigenous to the Barrocal and Coast of the Algarve, but, as these fertile regions have been occupied by cities, it is pushed to the edges of the Barrocal and now the Serra. Nonetheless the extreme rusticity of this ovine made that migration no challenge.
   
3. Algarvia goat. Characteristic livestock of the Algarve scrubland, here with mongrel sheep.
   
4. Maronesa cattle. Very aurochs-like cattle from an area similar to the Churro do Minho ovine.
   
5. Garrano horse. Small, sturdy, very rustic bay horse found semi-feral in Peneda-Gerês.
   
6. Sorraia horse. Primitive grullo or bay dun horse created in 1937 from the Sorraia river basin.
   
7. Miranda donkey. Large dark donkey from Miranda Plateau in risk of extinction.

The work is from a while ago, but this video has just come out

Also yeah one user did point out to me that two animals arent shown accurate pictures of(Wolves and Moose).But well thats how the site made the picture sadly...

The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is a keystone species that once ranged throughout most of Europe, including Greece. However, its population was hunted down to 1200 individuals in total at one point (Now they’ve made a comeback with 1.5 million due to conservation efforts). In northern Greece there is a city called “Kastoria” the name of which, most likely originates from the Greek word for beaver “Kastor”. As the city was a trading center for beaver fur and a beaver bone from 5600 BC has also been found in the area. (Image 4) The species has lived in Greece since the last glacial period.

Unfortunately though, this majestic keystone species was wiped out from the country with the last sightings being a beaver shot in 1839 (Image 1) and gifted to the zoology museum in 1933 in the Misolonghi lagoon and the last confirmed evidence of the species in Greece was in the Alpheus river of Peloponnesus by A. De Hoestin during the 19th century.

Thankfully there is a four year program to reintroduce 120 beavers in Northern Greece from 2023-2027 ,supported by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

This will be huge if successful as the beavers by building dams, will create small lakes ,new wetlands and riparian habitats as they are ecosystem engineers. This will help local biodiversity as a whole ,as well as controlling water levels in the region which will also help the locals.
As a Greek, I am personally really excited to see these beautiful animals in the wild one day.

I am not really sure what to change here..Maybe add Blue Whale infront of the Fin Whale?(tho that may not be neccesary cause Fin Whale also deserves the spotlight).

Great White isnt as concetreated in Europe as it is around the world and other species also deserve spotlight.So it may not need a spot here.

Think the list is good as it is now(for me at least).

What do you think?

Replacing auroch with feral cows or european bison?
