The Global Rewilding Alliance have shared the 12 Principles of Rewilding - a global framework for restoring ecosystems by working with nature and communities. 🌳🤝

Rooted in interconnectedness, hope, and collaboration, the principles show how we can support nature recovery at scale while protecting what remains.

Rewilding is a hopeful, collective pathway toward a healthier, wilder, and more resilient planet. 🌎

The green hairstreak butterfly is the UK’s only green butterfly. 🦋 A small and shy butterfly that keeps its wings closed except in flight, revealing a metallic green underside with a faint white streak.

Adults can be seen between April and June, and this one was spotted on the edge of a burn at Dundreggan during a plant survey. 🌿

Sponsor a tree 🌳 Your support helps us expand and restore native woodlands by growing saplings from local seed, planting trees, and supporting natural regeneration so that the forest can renew itself over time. 🌿

In the process, you’re helping create homes for wildlife, protect rare and endangered trees, improve people’s health and wellbeing, creating seed sources for the future, and combat climate change. 🌎

Help bring Scotland’s Caledonian forest back to life by sponsoring a tree or creating your own grove 👉 https://treesforlife.org.uk/support/plant-a-tree/

Scotland’s rainforest is a rare and precious habitat. 🌧️🌳 Home to lush mosses, lichens and ancient trees that thrive in mild temperatures, clean air and high rainfall. It’s a haven for wildlife and rich in biodiversity.

In just one corner of Scotland’s rainforest, more than 1,100 species - including glow worms, slime moulds and rare lichens - were recently discovered on the West Cowal peninsula. 🌿

It’s a wonderful example of citizen science helping to reveal just how rich and magical Scotland’s rainforest really is. Read the full story here 👉 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8pe9k304jo

Scotland needs a Nature Minister 🌳 Last week, the First Minister announced Scotland's new Cabinet but we’re lacking a Nature, Environment or Biodiversity Minister.

Nature needs to be a headline priority, not just one item on a crowded agenda.

Give nature a voice in the Scottish Government. Please sign and share The Scottish Rewilding Alliance open letter 👉 https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/scotland-needs-a-nature-minister

Red squirrels at our Drimnin release site on Scotland’s west coast are thriving 🐿️ This week, they’ve been spotted darting through the trees, building nests known as ‘dreys’, and even gnawing on an antlers.

Did you know that deer antlers provide a great source of nutrients, including calcium, for red squirrels?

The Scottish Highlands remain the largest stronghold for red squirrels in the UK. Our Red Squirrel Reintroduction Project is helping reds return to areas of their former range. Find out more 👉 https://treesforlife.org.uk/about-us/red-squirrel-reintroduction-project/

Lynx to Scotland update 🐆 Earlier this year, the Lynx to Scotland partnership engaged with 1,640 people at 42 information sessions across Highland and Moray.

Thanks to everyone who has shared their thoughts and provided feedback. We’re currently analysing over 1,000 questionnaires completed during and after these sessions.

Many people also requested 1:1 conversations which our Engagement Officers are carrying out this summer to understand local concerns and potential benefits that a potential lynx reintroduction could bring.

Once the individual conversations are complete, the Lynx to Scotland partnership has a Community Feedback phase planned for later this year.

Clinging on in small, isolated pockets, remnants of Caledonian pinewood - one of our richest and rarest habitats - still survive. 🌲

Our Wild Pine Project, in collaboration with Woodland Trust Scotland, is uncovering these forgotten fragments using old maps, Gaelic place names, and field surveys. 🗺️

By identifying and mapping these ancient trees, we’re working to protect and restore Scotland’s wild forests before they vanish forever.
