Ernst Schäfer (1910-1992) byl německý zoolog, sběratel přírodnin a cestovatel známý zejména díky třem průkopnickým výpravám do Tibetu, území, kam se přírodovědci prakticky nedostali až do druhé poloviny 20. století. Třetí expedice z let 1938-39 je poněkud kontroverzní, neboť se stala součástí nacistické propagandy a její cíle nebyly čistě jen vědecké., Ernst Schäfer (1910–92) was a German zoologist, collector and explorer who is primarily known for his three pioneering expeditions to Tibet, which was virtually closed to science well into the second half of the 20th century. The third expedition, in 1938–39, was rather controversial as it became a part of Nazi propaganda and its goals were not purely scientific., and Jan Robovský, Jiří Hrubý.
Another article describes a study entitled Return of the European Bison (Bison bonasus) to the Czech Republic published by the Czech Landscape in collaboration with scientists from the Biology Centre and the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, both of the ASCR and the University of South Bohemia. Research in the Czech Republic identified areas suitable for their return to the wild, mainly former military areas; surface areas of which range between 219-372 km2. In 2012, European bison was returned to the wild at Ralsko nature reserve, a former military training ground in Central Bohemia. and Miloslav jirků [et al.].
