#16 Saving Wildcats - Scotland 🏴
Manage episode 426339677 series 3441514
For the past few decades, Scotland's wildcat population has been clinging on by a claw. Through historic persecution, habitat loss and more recently, issues with hybridisation with feral and domestic cats, their numbers here have dwindled to practically nothing.
Saving Wildcats is the first dedicated conservation breeding for release project for the species, and the team here are hard at work to restore this iconic mesopredator back to the wild.
