Thanks to everyone who donated to our Earth Raise appeal.

Over a single week we raised a whopping £129,303 for lynx reintroduction! Your generous support will help us submit a release licence application that is acceptable, feasible and possible to implement for all stakeholders. Every gift you make to the Missing Lynx Project will still matter, but it will no longer be doubled. Thank you again, from everyone at the Missing Lynx team.

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.
