The reintroduction of native species (driven to local extinction because of *us*) isn't just about enhancing biodiversity. It's about compromise & finding solutions to conflict rooted in coexistence. Rather than just exterminating any perceived threat to farming & field sports.

There are well-meaning motives behind wanting to reintroduce sea eagles, but the evidence strongly shows that this would not enhance biodiversity and would become a huge threat to animal welfare and see the loss of lambs. We should stop it. https://t.co/B27Z7OsClp

Not so long ago, wild forests, free-flowing rivers and rich wetlands stretched across Scotland โ€“ buzzing, croaking and hooting with life. Today, despite its spectacular views, much of Scotland is quieter. Emptier. Its wildlife diminished. But there is hope: nature responds

Muirburn does not stop wildfire and probably makes it worse. "the practice of muirburn actually made no difference to the extent of the Dava megafire. Muirburn dries out the land by killing off the vegetation and drying out the peat, making it less resistant to fire. Muirburn

Conversations about reintroducing lynx to Scotland arenโ€™t just about ecology or economics โ€“ theyโ€™re about our emotional ties to the land and its wildlife. Could lynx help rekindle that connection? ๐ŸŽง More on @ffinlocostain: https://t.co/wKk6JvvbqP #LynxToScotland
