In recent years, an exciting movement towards nature restoration has garnered attention in the UK, highlighted by the rewilding initiatives at Coombeshead Farm in Devon. This farm is undergoing a remarkable transformation back to its natural state, and as part of this effort, a unique event known as the rewilding weekender has been hosted, where participants are encouraged to express their opinions on which large mammals they would like to see reintroduced to Britain. The clear favorite emerging from this interactive polling is the majestic Eurasian lynx.
This growing interest was further fueled by reports earlier this year about the sighting and subsequent capture of four Eurasian lynx in the region, sparking conversations about the potential for their reintroduction. The rewilding movement continues to gain momentum as advocates push for the restoration of native wildlife and ecosystems across Britain.
