On 20th June, 2024, The European Nature Trust will be hosting the charitable London premiere of Why Not Scotland? <\/em>\u2013 a narrative and personal documentary posing the pressing question: If nature is recovering across Europe, can Scotland undergo a similar revival?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Evening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TENT invites you to the Marylebone Theatre for an inspiring, charitable cinematic event that will raise awareness, inspiration and engagement with Scottish nature. In many parts of Europe, \u2018wild rivers\u2019 still exist, forest cover has grown by 5% since 2000, and traditional practices of coexisting with species like beavers, bears and wolves are being unearthed. While social and political challenges abound, keystone species are<\/em> making a significant comeback. The EU has recently adopted its \u2018Nature Restoration Law\u2019, and collectively, all UN countries must protect 30% of all land and seas by 2030 to meet the \u201c30x30\u201d target. It begs the question, if Europe is making progress, can Scotland meet the challenge posed by the climate and biodiversity crises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the evening, the Why Not Scotland?<\/em> film will address this challenging question through personal narrative storytelling, auguring hope, inspiration, and practical solutions for nature recovery. A panel discussion will review the state of the rewilding debate in Scotland, and assess the obstacles that Scotland\u2019s communities, climate and biodiversity must overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Film<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Produced by SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, shot across multiple locations in Europe, this feature-length documentary accompanies Flo, a young Scot, who is concerned by the state of nature and fearful about an uncertain future. During her travels Flo discovers places where nature is making a spectacular comeback, breathing life back into the landscape and revitalising communities. Encouraged by these stories of hope, she is prompted to wonder: Why Not Scotland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
