Vincent Wildlife Trust is undertaking a qualitative study into stakeholder perceptions of the potential for lynx reintroduction in Scotland.
The year-long study will impartially assess stakeholder perceptions towards the potential for lynx reintroduction, including some consultation with rural communities.
GWCT will be hosting a free online webinar on 7pm on 26 August (you can register here) to enable our members to get involved in this study and have their say on the idea of lynx reintroduction.
The study is not associated with any current proposal to reintroduce lynx but seeks to inform if, or how this might be appropriate in the future. The primary aim is to explore the diverse range of opinion around the topic of lynx reintroduction, covering the potential issues and benefits associated with living alongside a top predator.
David Bavin from the Vincent Wildlife Trust will introduce the background to the study and discussion will be chaired by Rory Kennedy, GWCT Scotland Director.
Members can register via this link (which will ensure you receive the Zoom invite and reminders).
This is your chance to ask questions and get involved in the conversation.
