SIR,
A campaign calling for Scotland to become the first Rewilding Nation in the world, backed by Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, is launching a new fundraising drive.
The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of more than 20 organisations, is urging the Scottish Government to declare Scotland a Rewilding Nation in an effort to boost conservation strategies.
PLEASE NO!
I was really hoping this was just a late April Fools news article but sadly it is not ! They want to take away our identity and cultural heritage of the indigenous people of the Highlands – ripping away our families future and ending our way of life completely.
Eliminating thousands of years of people and places in the Highlands – all these big nature charities, government quangos and national parks are all in on it.
We need to stop this now or rural Scotland especially the Highlands will change forever!
