The restoration of natural ecosystems, driven by communities living alongside nature, can benefit biodiversity, climate and communities. SCOTLAND: The Big Picture is driving support for rewilding, helping to meaningfully engage more people with nature restoration. The future of Scotland’s ecological recovery rests with a change in mindsets; TENT is supporting SBP through direct funding, and in the creation of films which help raise awareness of the benefits of rewilding.
Despite its beauty and drama, Scotland has become a nature-depleted nation. Many species that were once prolific now teeter on the edge; others, such as wolves, lynx and elk, have been hunted to extinction. Centuries of ecological decline have led the complex living systems, upon which we all depend, to falter.
