Resolves to YES if brown bears (Ursus arctos) are introduced to the wild anywhere in the UK (so overseas territories do not count) by the end of 2040. Anywhere part of the UK in 2023 counts, e.g. if Scotland becomes independent then reintroduces bears, this will resolve to YES. Illegal reintroductions only count if they lead to a self-sustaining population, as has happened with beavers (i.e. someone releasing a single individual does not count).

@JoshuaWilkes I think I would count that as YES (the BBC uses "reintroduced wild bison" to describe a similiar situation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-62664612).
