» Despite its beauty and drama, Scotland has become a nature-depleted nation. Many species that were once prolific now teeter on the edge; others have been hunted to extinction. Centuries of ecological decline have led the complex living systems, upon which we all depend, to falter, and now climate breakdown is knocking on Scotland’s door.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Rewilding is an opportunity to transform our land and seas into a rich tapestry of life, so they work in all their colourful complexity, bringing benefits to nature, climate and people.
“Confining our ambition to protecting the fragments and threads of nature we have left is no longer enough. We need to stretch our imaginations to what else is possible. With a change in mindset, amazing things can happen.”
~ Peter Cairns, Executive Director, SCOTLAND: The Big Picture
