The Missing Lynx Project is a partnership between Northumberland Wildlife Trust, The Lifescape Project and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is investigating the possibility of reintroducing lynx to Britain, focusing on a habitat patch in Northumberland and bordering areas of Cumbria and southern Scotland.
The Missing Lynx Project believes that local people’s views matter and it continues to assess communities’ feelings about lynx reintroduction. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed so far.
