A PATHWAY for Scotland to become the world’s first “rewilding nation” has been presented to the Scottish Government by the Scottish Rewilding Alliance.

The coalition of more than 20 organisations presented the plan to Minister for Climate Action, Dr Alasdair Allan MSP, at a reception in Edinburgh on Tuesday.

The group set out what it describes as a “trailblazing vision of hope” for Scotland requiring leadership from government in line with its international commitments, urging ministers to commit to nature recovery across 30% of the country’s land and sea.
