New study models the proposed reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx to Scotland

Experts have used an innovative approach to model the proposed reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx to Scotland.

Significantly, they believe their model will inform and enhance decision-making around large carnivore reintroductions worldwide.
