Human activities had a strong impact on the fauna of Denmark. As a result of multiple acts of people's interference in nature, beavers are completely extinct, and the number of deer has significantly decreased in the country. Since the first half of the 19th century, wolves have disappeared from Denmark. However, the mass extermination of predatory animals caused a significant increase in the population of swallows, rooks, partridges, and white storks. Today, nests and habitats of different species of birds are reliably protected in the country. The natural wealth of Denmark is under the active protection of local laws.
There are three national parks in Denmark. On the Jutland coast is the largest and oldest nature reserve in the country - Thy National Park. In this beautiful place, tourists have a unique opportunity to see many wild animals of Denmark: red deer, roe deer, and rare birds - sandpipers and plovers. Nearby is the Mols Bjerge National Park. Most of the territory is occupied by wastelands, forests, and swamps. Tourists are advised to head to the coast, where there are kilometers of excellent beaches stretching along it. In the park, you can see the ruins of ancient cities, historic churches, and manors, as well as visit the villages of local residents. The Wadden Sea National Park lies in the south of Denmark. Among its sand dunes, tourists can meet funny seals or observe the migration of birds in the spring and autumn. In the Wadden Sea, you can often witness a unique natural phenomenon - the Black Sun when thousands of starlings gather in flocks and cover the sky.
