Wolves in Scotland?
There is a plan afoot to reintroduce wild wolves to the Scottish Highlands. The thinking behind this is that wolves would help to restrict the huge numbers of red deer that are destroying vegetation and ancient forests and putting bird populations under treat by destroying their habitat.
Wolves were indigenous to Scotland until 1769 and apparently recorded incidents of attacks on humans are negligible. Many people probably don't realise that wolves have already naturally expanded into France, Germany and Scandinavia. For large carnivores to have a long term future they have to be allowed to spread naturally and not restricted to designated conservation zones and National parks.
Bringing wolves back to Scotland would control the spread of red deer and significantly increase the diversity of plant and bird life.
