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. Unravelled by centuries of use and misuse, millions of treeless hectares now dominate the map. Many species that were once prolific now teeter on the edge, and invisible are the animals hunted to extinction.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Rewilding seeks to return abundance and diversity of life to Scotland’s damaged and degraded ecosystems, 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.
