Consultation begins on return of lynx to Scotland

Consultation begins on return of lynx to Scotland | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

An extensive and impartial study to assess people’s views about the possible reintroduction of Eurasian lynx to the Scottish Highlands is being launched this month by a new partnership of the charities SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, Trees for Life and Vincent Wildlife Trust.Ecological research has shown that extensive areas of Scotland could support lynx, but the charities say returning the shy and elusive animal is less about science and more about people’s willingness to live alongside a species that’s become forgotten on these shores.

DocBiodiv's insight:

Toujours intéressant de regarder comment cela se passe ailleurs, petit tour en Ecosse. Lire ds Le Guardian "Wild lynx could be reintroduced into Scottish Highlands" https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/20/wild-lynx-could-be-reintroduced-into-scottish-highlands

Voir le site du Lynx UK Trust http://www.lynxuk.org/ qui organise des réunions de consultation locales, dont la dernière début février.
On peut suivre aussi le compte @CarnivoreSci sur lequel les chercheurs "Guillaume Chapron and José Vicente López-Bao tweet about the ecology and conservation of large carnivores around the world."
