Notes -
Yeah, but if Saudi Arabia decided to reintroduce its original population of lions due to enormous wealth, they’d still have gone extinct in the middle.
Are there first world countries that developed to first world standards without pushing their native large predators out? I mean, Canada and Uruguay are contenders- with the obvious similarity of large tracts of essentially uninhabited land because everyone lives in one or a few major cities. The U.S. is similar- wolves, bears, and cougars were largely extirpated from the areas people actually live, the recent range expansions are driven by population concentration and deliberate reintroductions. Maybe bears in Japan?
