About the Large Herbivore Foundation (LHF)
The Large Herbivore Foundation (LHF) is an independent international nature conservation NGO. The LHF is committed to the conservation and restoration of Large Herbivore species, their communities and their habitats, landscapes and large ecosystems in Eurasia.
Eurasia once was the home of billions of grazing mammals; the large herbivores. Forests, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, tundra, steppes and deserts were inhabited by a wide variety of hoofed animals. Certain species used to migrate by the millions over thousands of kilometres as part of their natural behaviour. However, development of human societies has in particular during the last century, led to dramatic declines of numbers and ranges of most large herbivore species. The Large Herbivore Foundation was founded to counter these ever increasing threats and to aim for conservation and ecological restoration.

Don't hesitate to visit the newspage
The LHF News page will be developed to a source of developments and information on the large mammals in Eurasia. Please don't hesitate to send us your news.
LHF is looking for students, apprentices, volunteers
LHF is looking for a few volunteers or apprentices who are interested in learning more about the large herbivore (mammal) species in Eurasia. We are developing a practical website with a lot of information about these species leading to concrete projects and a project portfolio to protect and restore their populations in the field.

Underway to ECNC - LHF
The 1st of January 2010 ECNC and the Large Herbivore Foundation have made a first start for working closely together. One of the changes is the change in the post address, please see the heading. The LHF e-mail adresses are still the same. It is one of the activities to keep the interest in the large herbivores in Eurasia on the agenda.
For more information, please visit ECNCs website.
