Scottish groups propose rewilding 30% of Scotland to fight climate change, restore nature.

The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of over 20 conservation groups, has proposed turning Scotland into the world's first rewilding nation by restoring 30% of its land and seas. This includes expanding native woodlands, restoring peatlands, and possibly reintroducing lynx. The plan aims to combat climate and nature emergencies while supporting agriculture and local communities. The Scottish Government has shown support for the initiative, aiming to achieve a nature-positive Scotland by 2030.
