After more than a millennium of farming, logging, paving over and settling, Europe appears to be one of the least wild continents on Earth.But look again: new research shows that nearly a quarter of this densely populated area is intact enough to support the key herbivores and carnivores that characterize functional wild ecosystems.

As they renovated and updated their home, which hadn't been touched for half a century, the couple embraced experimentation. Rios was thrilled to be able to push himself further than his traditional clients. Look at the plump, lacquered fiberglass bar in what was once the bridge room. “We don't play bridge, but we do drink, so that's why it's a bar!” laughs Rios.

A special relationship Britain is often seen as a special case in Europe, separated from…
