The Scottish Rewilding Alliance
@ScotRewilding
Imagine a Scotland where nature is reawakened. Rewilding is a simple idea: let's work with nature instead of against it.
80% of Scottish people want their government to act in support of rewilding. This is about opportunity and choice – we have the people, places and potential to become a Rewilding Nation, and so be a trailblazer in reversing collapses in biodiversity, tackling climate breakdown,…
🦸 The rewilding movement’s superpower? You. Across Scotland, people are standing up for rewilding: writing to MSPs, meeting them face-to-face and helping put nature back where it belongs: at the heart of Scottish politics. And it’s working. Politicians are listening. The…
The Natural Environment Bill could be a game-changer for Scotland – a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reverse decades of nature loss and lead the way in tackling the climate and biodiversity crises. But only if it’s strengthened. Rewilding Britain's latest blog by our very…
🌍 Scotland is at a crossroads – and your voice has never mattered more. The Scottish Government has legally binding climate targets, but progress is way off track – and communities are already feeling the effects. That's why, on Thursday 18th September, people from across…
The Scottish Rewilding Alliance was pleased to meet with @GillianMSP MSP earlier this month, now Cabinet Secretary for Climate Action and Energy. Our discussion focused on the current situation around beaver translocations in Scotland, and we welcomed the opportunity to share…
🦫 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming @EmmaRoddickSNP to two inspiring rewilding sites in her region: South Clunes Farm and @AbriachanForest Trust – both members of the Northwoods Rewilding Network, coordinated by SRA member @ScotlandTBP. At South Clunes, a regenerative…
The Sottish Land Commission @ScottishLandCom has launched ScotLand Futures – a national initiative inviting people across Scotland to help shape the next phase of land reform. Land reform is high on the agenda in Scotland right now, with the Scottish Parliament currently…
🦸 Scotland’s wild spaces need heroes – and that means YOU. Nature is in crisis, but united, we have the strength to turn it around. 💪 Your superpower is your voice. Whether you have five minutes or a full day, reaching out to your MSP means joining a growing team of champions…
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) – the UK’s climate watchdog – has issued 18 urgent recommendations for Scotland to stay on track with its legally binding climate targets. Among them is a clear call for government action to provide incentives and address barriers for farmers…
🌱 Natural woodland regeneration is vital to a healthier, wilder Scotland. That’s why we welcomed a recent parliamentary question from Graham Simpson MSP @GrahamSMSP, asking what the Scottish Government @scotgov is doing to promote it. The reply notes that over 9,000 hectares…
Scotland could make history by becoming the first in the UK to criminalise ecocide. 📜 The Ecocide (Scotland) Bill, led by Monica Lennon MSP @MonicaLennon7, aims to make severe environmental harm a criminal offence. With cross-party backing and support from over 95% of 3,000+…
This deer’s having a moment – and not the kind you want when speaking with your MSP about rewilding. Rewilding conversations can be tricky to navigate, with more than a few thorny topics (deer included). Knowing how to engage well with MSPs can make all the difference. If…

John Swinney has today announced a Cabinet reshuffle of his Government. Yet despite the new appointments and reappointments, the Scottish Government still lacks a dedicated nature minister. At a time of ecological collapse, sidelining nature risks undermining all this…
On #InternationalLynxDay, we applaud Kenneth Gibson MSP for challenging the Scottish Government’s "antiquated view" and international status as a "laggard" on reintroducing missing lynx, a native predator which the recent National Lynx Discussion recognised offers potential…
Scotland’s seas need fresh voices – especially now, while the Scottish Government continues to stall on real marine protections. 🌊 Young Sea Changers Scotland @Youth4Seas is offering a paid, 8-week summer traineeship (Real Living Wage) for someone aged 18–25 from a Black, Asian…
