The UK considers itself to be an animal-loving nation, but it has one of the most nature-depleted landscapes in all of Europe if not the world. To reverse the damaged state of nature, a rewilding movement is gaining momentum around the country. This chapter explores efforts in the UK to rewild the lynx to Scotland and Northern England. The exploration is twofold – first, the chapter examines the narratives of opposition and support for return of the lynx, focusing on the non-human animal and environmental harms and benefits that are predicted. Second, the chapter analyses how the Bern Convention and CITES as they are transposed in UK legislation can account for rewilding.
