WORKING TO RETURN LYNX
TO THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

Lynx to Scotland is a collaboration between three charities: SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, Trees for Life and The Lifescape Project. Since 2020, we’ve been assessing whether and how lynx could return to the Scottish landscape.

Scientific studies show that Scotland has enough habitat and wild prey to support a healthy population of lynx. But social acceptance is equally important. That’s why we’ve been exploring how people feel about bringing back Scotland’s missing lynx.
