Dave

but in some areas there arent any residents - courtesy of the clearances there are large tracts of the highlands with no communities except for the estates. Also in areas where there are wolves and lynx, such as Norway, finland and canada (they have bears too - not that i'm advocating reintroducing them) the residents coexist with them, and indeed the wildlife brings in tourism which helps support small rural comunities.
