Imagine a country where wild forests teem with life...
-
where rivers brimming with salmon and trout flow freely...
-
where wetlands are shaped by beavers and echo to the calls of cranes...
-
where healthy peatlands regulate carbon and purify water...
-
where oceans support an abundance of life...
-
where communities are flourishing in a vibrant nature-based economy.

Now imagine that country is SCOTLAND.
Despite its beauty and drama, Scotland has become a nature-depleted nation. Many species that were once prolific now teeter on the edge; others have been hunted to extinction. Centuries of ecological decline have led to the complex living systems upon which we all depend to falter and fail.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Rewilding seeks to return abundance and diversity of life to Scotland’s land and seas, so that wildlife flourishes and people thrive. SCOTLAND: The Big Picture works with a diverse range of people to make rewilding happen, at many different levels, across Scotland.
It’s time to rewrite nature’s story.
