360°- GEO Report witnesses ecologists and nature lovers arguing over wild horses.
The Romanian Danube Delta is said to be one of Europe's last nature paradises. It is a network of reed beds for miles on end, and of small islands and creeks, providing a haven for rare animal species. It is also home to the world's largest pelican colony. In the last 20 years, the Delta is home to a further species - wild horses.
When the communist kolkhoz was withdrawn, hundreds of work horses were left in the Delta. Today about 2,000 of them live in the region's grasslands and forests.
Conservationists are up in arms over their rampant proliferation as the herds are threatening to disturb the Delta's ecological balance.
