So that's probably the closest.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

We're working closely with the Australian government because they wanted brought back and reintroduced because it unbalanced the ecosystem in Tasmania.

How did it unbalance it?

Well, they put a bounty out on them because they thought that they were a pest.

So yeah, they shot them all to death.

And then when you lose the apex predator in an ecosystem, you end up getting overpopulation of what they were predating on, what they were eating.

And that can lead to overgrazing.

When you overgraze, you're reducing the amount of tension in the soil caused by the root system of the shrubs that they're eating, which causes rivers to literally change course.

There's a wonderful documentary on YouTube

that shows what happened when they reintroduced gray wolves into Yellowstone.

I suggest anybody watching it because it shows how transformational just adding a few apex predators were to that ecosystem.

It literally changed the course of rivers as they brought down the

population of the elk and caribou that they were eating.

And there was not as much overgrazing.

So more foliage came back, more species came back, you know, beavers came back.

They started damming the rivers and things started changing that made a more healthy environment.

No kidding.

Yeah.
