A campaign group calling for Scotland to be declared the world’s first “rewilding nation” has presented the Scottish Government with proposals for rewilding 30% of the country’s land and seas.

The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of more than 20 conservation and nature-focused organisations, presented what it called its “vision of hope” to Scotland’s climate action minister, Alasdair Allan, during a reception in Edinburgh.
