A pioneering rewilding initiative in Lincolnshire is poised to transform more than 600 hectares of former agricultural land, utilising beavers, pigs, cattle, and ponies.
This ambitious Boothby Wildland project represents the first large-scale implementation under a flagship government programme, aiming to be an “exemplar” for securing nature restoration through private finance.
The scheme, on land previously considered “hard” to farm, will generate valuable carbon and nature credits from its newly established habitats and the wildlife they support.
and where are the large predators?
600 acres might sound like a lot but I think bears/wolves/lynxes need more space than that. And I think lynxes hunt from the edges of woodland, so there would need to be enough of that too.
Extinct, people killed them all. Previously having wolves, bears, and lynx in the British Isles.
Unless you mean smaller predators like badgers, polecats, foxes?
Presumably those groups will introduce themselves to the area.
Yes I meant wolves and lynx. There may just become problem populations of particularly pigs if there is no culling or predation
