FOR many people, hearing that Scotland is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world comes as a surprise. After all, aren’t we blessed…
Shy and elusive woodland hunters, Eurasian lynx may be the perfect fit for maintaining biodiversity and healthy living systems in Scotland’s forests
Here Scotland has the choice and the opportunity to become a rewilding nation, with 30% of our land and seas enjoying nature recovery by 2030, and with everyone sharing the benefits of landscapes much richer in nature, from new job opportunities to improved public health. In April this year, the case for reintroducing lynx was discussed in the Scottish Parliament for the first time – reflecting an emerging conversation around the return of this native species, missing from Scotland since being made extinct more than 500 years ago.
1. The public want lynx. A series of polls have demonstrated widespread support for their return – signalling growing societal concern for the degraded state of Scotland’s nature. 4. Tackling the climate emergency. Scotland has less native woodland than almost any European country. By reducing the over-abundance of deer – or just changing their behaviour – lynx could help Scotland’s forests to expand and lock up more carbon.
