Campaigners who want to ‘rewild’ Britain will ask for permission to reintroduce lynx within WEEKS – and WOLVES could be next
- Proposal could see Wolves and Lynx reintroduced to the wilds of Great Britain
- Lynx are seen as the more likely candidate, head of Natural England has said
- Successful return of wolves to the Netherlands shows it is possible in England
- Michael Gove rejected plans in 2018 for Lynx to be reintroduced in the country
Wolves and Lynx could be reintroduced under plans to 're-wild' large areas of England, backed by the head of Natural England.
Lynx are the more likely candidate to be brought back, according to Tony Juniper, but the successful return of wolves in the Netherlands without problems has demonstrated that it could be possible to do the same in England.
The Lynx UK Trust intends to submit an application to Natural England before Christmas to release six of the big cats from Sweden in Kielder Forest, Northumberland.

As Environment Secretary in 2018, Micheal Gove rejected a similar application by Natural England after the organisation advised against it.
