Sir David Attenborough backs bid to buy estate
Sir David Attenborough and Wildlife Trusts aim to raise £30 million to protect a 15-square-mile Northumberland estate, preserving rare wildlife and promoting sustainable farming.
- Sir David Attenborough has supported conservationists in their effort to raise £30m to buy the Rothbury Estate, a large upland area in England.
- The Wildlife Trusts and Northumberland Wildlife Trust have raised about £8m in donations but need to secure the remaining funds in one year to prevent the estate from being sold off.
- Mike Pratt, chief executive of Northumberland Wildlife Trust, described the estate as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to enhance nature and protect habitats.
- Plans for the estate include reintroducing large herbivores and creating new paths and an education center for local communities.
