The Missing Lynx Project coordinated the UK’s largest-ever consultation on species reintroduction, engaging with over 10,000 consultees across the identified habitat region and demonstrating broad regional support for lynx recovery.
The talk will explore the ecological, social and practical feasibility of returning lynx to a habitat patch in northern England and southern Scotland through a reintroduction in Northumberland.
