‘Rogue rewilding’ - the illegal release of lynx with Pete Cairns
“There absolutely is no substitute for just seeing it but also smelling it, feeling it, hearing it. You can read all the books and watch all the films you like but there is absolutely no substitute for seeing it in the flesh.”
The mysterious appearance of seemingly tame lynx in the Highlands of Scotland raised questions about who released them and why. Scotland’s native Eurasian lynx are believed to have suffered extinction more than 500 years ago.
In this episode Ben Goldsmith is joined by Pete Cairns of Scotland: The Big Picture, one of three charities involved in plans to legitimately return lynx to the Highlands. He explains why people might have released the four animals illegally.
