Reintroducing wolves to Scottish Highlands could help address climate emergency, study suggests

  • Reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands could lead to an increase in native woodlands that absorb one million additional tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to a study from the University of Leeds.
  • The study estimates that a population of approximately 167 wolves would help control red deer numbers, allowing for natural tree regeneration and woodland growth.
  • The findings suggest that newly grown woodlands could capture one million tons of CO2 each year, contributing to the UK's carbon removal targets.
  • Researchers emphasize the need for public engagement to address potential human-wildlife conflicts before considering the reintroduction of wolves.
