Reintroduction of native species

• Successful Native Species Reintroductions

  Beavers and Sea Eagles
• Conflicting Native Species Reintroductions

  Lynx and Wolf
• Beaver Reintroduction

  Were reintroduced in 2009 in Argyll. Scotland's population is now around 1000.
• Sea Eagle Reintroduction

  Became extinct due to hunting and egg collecting. Mull earns £5 million from tourists visiting to see eagles.
• Lynx Reintroduction

  'Wild Britain' want to reintroduce lynx. They are medium sized cats which prey on small mammals and birds. Reintroduction would help protect forestry as lynx would hunt deer.
• Wolf Reintroduction

  Very controversial. Farmers think they will damage livestock. They will also increase tourism.
