Born to re-wild: Inside the battle to bring wolves and lynx back to Britain (inews.co.uk)

Paul Lister is proud of the work he has done in recent years to restore habitats and revive endangered species at his Alladale estate in the Scottish Highlands.

The landowner has created a 23,000-acre (93 million sq m) wilderness reserve – planting more than one million trees, protecting hundreds of red squirrels, and breeding wildcats for reintroduction in the Cairngorms National Park.

But Mr Lister’s ultimate dream is to see lynx and wolves return to the Highlands. Not seen in Britain for centuries, he thinks it’s time to place an “apex” predator back into the food chain to end the domination of deer over the landscape.
