I am disappointed they didn't plan to drill for geysers. Geothermal activity is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Yellowstone".

I don't think there's a much difference in behavior between the species, probably Romania just has more bears living close to humans, which makes them less afraid and conflicts more likely. For the record, my home country (Finland) has about 2000 brown bears, and they have killed only a single person during past 100 years. Most of the time they try their best to avoid humans, and the majority of people living in the…
Romania has more than 2 persons killed each year and many more injured. "Between 2016 and 2021, there were 154 bear attacks on humans, resulting in 158 injuries and 14 deaths" https://www.politico.eu/article/romania-bear-attacks-on-huma...
How do they intend to install the super volcano underneath?

I beg to differ
What are the pros and cons?
Please do this in France too. So much land, but agriculture everywhere.

I'm guessing you mean the bison. (At least that's what Belovezhskaya Pushcha is known for, other than being the largest area of primeval forest in Europe.)
Calling bison ‘buffalo’ is a North American thing, generally. It’s part of a huge pattern of naming confusions between British and American English for ungulates. An elk in Eurasia traditionally means what is a called a moose in North America, but in North America what they call an elk is more similar to a European red deer. America also calls its pronghorn (which is not an antelope) an antelope, and its reindeer car…
My wife's Belarusian though, and I have been to Belovezhskaya Pushcha and seen these buffalo/bison beasties, so I've got that going for me!

One local throws a jab back at him: “You kill all the bears in your country and reap the benefits of developing [your land/economy], and then come to ours and tell us to protect nature.”
Fantastic movie, highly recommended. If you do watch it, watch the original version with the burnt in subtitles. The subtitles have different colours to indicate which language is being spoken, and it has a lot of relevance for the movie and context.

I don't know the history, but if it's anything like the public libraries here (and several other institutions), a lot of it would have been bankrolled by robber barons trying to secure their legacy and avoid taxation. In other words, guilting rich people and threatening nationalization of their wealth works.
> a lot of it would have been bankrolled by robber barons trying to secure their legacy and avoid taxation. Do you have a cite for that? BTW, donating to charity is tax deductible. For example, if I donate $100 to charity, I can deduct $100 from my taxable income. My choices: 1. paying taxes: I pay $20 2. donating to charity and deducting it from my income: I pay $100 I'm $80 worse off financially by donating to char…
