Examples of dramatic changes in wild mammal populations in Great Britain since the Mesolithic period (c.7.000 years ago), when clearance of woodland began to accelerate strongly. The table shows the three species with largest proportional increases and declines, excluding the eight species that were extirpated during the period (root vole (Microtus oeconomus) , wild boar (Sus scrofa, aurochs (Bas primigenius), European beaver (Castor fiber), elk (Alces alces), brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus), Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx)).
