Rewilding Network Boosts Wildlife, Economy in Scotland

Published 2 days, 3 hours ago
Description

Scotlands Northwoods Rewilding Network, launched in 2021, has led to remarkable wildlife comebacks after five years. Connecting over 100 landholdings, it has created jobs, boosted local spending, and seen bird numbers quadruple. New studies show a five-fold increase in bird space, ten-fold rise in bumblebees and butterflies, and an estimated 2.5 million pollinating insects. Rewilding with grazing has improved livestock health and attracted species like red kites and beavers. Research indicates a 261% rise in bird species, 546% increase in breeding spots, and 250% growth in nectar plants. The network demonstrates that smaller properties can effectively connect habitats, proving rewildings compatibility with farming, recreation, and business.
