We are inviting communities across the Highlands and Moray to take part in discussions about the possible return of lynx to northern Scotland 🐆 This month, the Lynx to Scotland partnership is launching a wide-ranging community and stakeholder discussion, with dozens of local events planned across the region. These will offer information and gather local views on the benefits and concerns that would come with the species’ return.

“Northern Scotland can support a thriving population of lynx, but social acceptance is just as important – so we’re exploring in detail how people feel about bringing back this important missing native species,” says Steve Micklewright, CEO.

Studies show the region contains some of Scotland’s best lynx habitat, with enough woodland and wild prey to support up to 250 of these elusive cats. Lynx pose no threat to people and are a missing native species that play an important role in healthy ecosystems.

A carefully managed reintroduction could bring benefits for biodiversity, landscapes, communities and businesses - including helping to manage deer numbers and supporting nature-based tourism - while recognising and addressing potential impacts.

Thanks so much for your patience over the holidays. We found it challenging to find dates that worked for people and before we knew it, it was back to school!

We had hoped to be able to run the remaining three meetings of 2025 but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we find ourselves unable to deliver these this year.

Our plan is to be back in January and getting ready for the annual Big Garden Birdwatch - keep your eye on your emails for updates when we can.

For now, we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came to any of our meetings. It’s been a brilliant four years and we fully intend on continuing.

Just think of it like a mini hibernation 😴😉

We’ll be back in touch soon.

Thanks again!
