Highland Tiger
Rarer than a tiger, the Scottish wildcat has become the forgotten cat. Despite huge resources ploughed into conserving other high-profile species, this icon of untameable wilderness has suffered persecution, habitat loss and now, indifference. In a country of cat lovers, is it too late for the Highland Tiger?
Monarch or Menace?
Britain’s largest land mammal courts its fair share of controversy. Some say that in the absence of natural predators, excessive deer numbers are impacting on fragile vegetation. Others retain a more traditional outlook and regard red deer as an integral part of the rural economy.
Are there too many? Depends who you’re asking.
Return of the Super Stoat
What do we do when a rare predator has a penchant for rare prey? Even worse, if that rare prey has had millions spent on conserving it? Worse still, if the rare prey is furry and cute? Or an icon? Should we control one to protect the other? Is it our responsibility to intervene? Have we the right to make such value-judgements? Well we do…all the time.
