Highlands Rewilding - who are we?

[@sophiareygrace6656]

Thank you for your rewilding efforts!! Keep up the good workkk

[@DholeCC17]

Hello, congratulations to all involved !! I have some questions to ask you, first, do you plan on having horses and cattle on the landscape ,and second, is the lynx planned to be reintroduced as well???

[@highlandsrewilding]

KZbin video reply: Hi there! Great question. We graze cattle at Beldorney, managed by the Grampian Graziers. They are moved around regularly with electric fences which allows them fresh pasture, reduces overgrazing and ensures adequate plant recovery to optimise photosynthesis. This promotes healthy root structure and soil biology and builds soil organic matter which in turn increases nutrient cycling, soil water holding capacity and water infiltration. It is a win-win! We have not included Lynx in our plans, though we are following the national conversation with interest

Interesting that it “includes people”. Some say take humans away and everything else will be ok. Not true!! We are as much a part of the system as every other living thing, but have failed in our job.

Except that nope. We're not part of the ecosystem. We have no ecological role, no ecological niche, and 99% of the time, we aren't even native to the ecosystem in question.

Hi there. Great work you are doing and very exciting for an Inverness resident like myself. I'd love to see Beavers up here one day - is this something you have in mind? Also do you have any opportunities for volunteers/casual workers? Thanks

Beautiful video on such an important effort, but the presentation does play like an advertisement.

there is no climate crisis. there is however a biodiversity crisis.

[@jickles5078]

There is both. The climate crisis is caused by people, who have caused multiple crises, including the biodiversity crisis. We still can fix it if people understand and stop taking only part of the truth, or none of it! I understand being scared, but ignoring it does nothing but make it worse until you can't fix it, and then all you *can* do is be scared.
