SCOTLAND: The Big Picture (SBP) and The European Nature Trust share a vision of a vast network of rewilded land and
water across Scotland, where wildlife flourishes and people thrive.

SBP is working to drive support for rewilding and in partnership with a diverse range of land partners, to commit more land and water to nature recovery across Scotland. SBP is also committed to return native species lost from the Scottish landscape. In partnership with land managers and like-minded organisations, SBP has embarked on an ambitious mission to reintroduce a breeding population of Eurasian cranes to the Cairngorms National Park and is working to build consensus around the potential afforded by restoring lynx to Scotland’s forests.

SBP realises that the future of Scotland’s ecological recovery rests with a change in people’s mindsets. Like TENT, it is working to drive engagement, foster support and understanding of rewilding’s benefits across the community, as well as our ecosystems. The organisation develops nature-based businesses to establish rewilding as a legitimate and economically viable land use in Scotland.

By visiting Alladale Wilderness Reserve, you can engage with the movement to restore the Highland ecosystem. Watch red squirrels, ptarmigan and golden eagles; explore Alladale’s pioneering restoration efforts; and reconnect with true nature.
