I am a 13 year old conservationist and environmental activist. I school strike for the climate, I support various wildlife charities and I campaign against wildlife persecution in Scotland. I am also a columnist for the Lochaber Times and I write a nature blog called 'A Cry For The Wild'. I am really proud to be a young ambassador for Scotland: The Big Picture because rewilding is about restoring Scotland's ecosystems and creating a haven for a diverse number of species. It is also about reconnecting people to nature which is very important

I’m just a normal school boy living in the Cairngorms national park in the Scottish Highlands, doing all the normal things a kid my age does, but I also have a passion for nature. My speciality is the ‘little guys’ - the insects, especially ants. Without insects the whole ecosystem would fail, that’s why I spend my spare time helping to protect and educate people (via my YouTube channel) about some of the rarest and most special species of insects in the Cairngorms.

Rewilding means everything to me, it’s a way to get back in touch with nature, understanding our place in the ecosystem and doing what we can to reverse the damage we have done in the past, helping it once again to thrive. You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference, simple changes like growing some wild flowers in your garden, building a bug hotel or volunteering on a local conservation project makes a huge difference

I’m a 14 year old Glasgow-based conservationist and environmental volunteer. I’m passionate about all aspects of nature and am involved in several local community projects aimed at protecting and enhancing wildlife and encouraging younger people to get involved. I’ve just completed a project to build 60 nest boxes and 20 bat boxes for my local park and will be coordinating the monitoring programme tracking their use. I blog regularly about my volunteering and nature interests on my website.

It’s important that children are taught to respect nature at an early age and that there are fun and interesting ways to build their knowledge and confidence and maintain their interest over time. Rewilding can be on a big or small scale but involves connecting with nature and understanding the interactions and relationships that will support biodiversity. As a Young Ambassador for SCOTLAND: The Big Picture I’m looking forward to playing a role in rewilding our wonderful country.

Whilst wandering the hills, forests, coasts or rivers of Scotland, I often find myself wondering how we can better manage the landscape for nature and for people. As a young ecologist, I’m always developing my knowledge of all sorts of things, from individual species and their requirements and habits, to entire habitats and the way in which they function. I also take interest in the impacts of people upon the landscape: how their behaviour influences the Scottish landscape and why we do what we do.

I'm very pleased to be joining the SCOTLAND: The Big Picture team as I too believe we can achieve a wilder Scotland that will benefit the economy, society and the environment. It's exciting to be part of a team that's making this happen!
