Many natural areas only have a limited surface area. The areas are almost always fenced in or they are surrounded by farmland, owned by farmers that would rather not see semi-wild large grazers live close to his own cattle. Large predators such as wolf and lynx are often absent. Natural processes such as migration, disease and predation have limited space.

Surprisingly, natural grazing turns out to be perfectly feasible within all these limitations, as long as it's being properly managed.

The larger an area the, more the herd manager can step back. But, it is possible for large grazers to help creating a rich and biodiverse ecosystem, even in small areas in an urban environment. FREE Nature has proven to do this successfully in the highly urbanised surroundings of both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. However, little adaptation is often needed. There, the herd manager is forced to intervene sooner, for example because rejected young stallions or bulls cannot acquire a territory of their own. Natural migration needs to be replaced by a transport vehicle to another area.

In large parts of Europe, human population is declining. Old farming methods are no longer sufficient and people are flocking to the cities. The ground they leave behind, are often ancient cultural landscapes in low mountain ranges or river deltas. In these areas there is plenty of room to develop a varied landscape using wild grazers. Moreover, their presence and the nature they bring, may even become an attractive tourist attraction, bringing a new economic impulse to the local area.
