First of all our apologies to viewers – we were hoping for a faster solution to the camera stream breaks.
The current situation is that we must implement a new transmission platform. Time will tell how quickly we will succeed in doing this but late autumn is a good time for such works because there is little to show from nature at the moment.

The beaver can survive in our climate only if it collects winter supplies. The food supply of beavers are branches – mostly willow branches which are fastened in the bottom of the water body in front of burrows or nest mounds.

The Environmental Board (Keskkonnaamet) has confirmed a primary hunting number of 61 specimens for wolves.
The aim of the wolf hunt which runs from November to the end of February is to control their numbers and so reduce predator damage to domestic animal owners caused by wolves.
As practiced earlier the wolf hunt will be directed to areas with most predator damage. At the same time it is attempted not to disturb wolf packs in larger natural territories. Such an arrangement will maintain the favourable conditions of the wolf population as well as the ecological role of the species while avoiding excessive damage to livestock breeders.
