Up to half-a-million acres of the Scottish Highlands are in line for rewilding following the launch of a project.

The 30-year scheme by Highland charity Trees For Life, with funding from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, would create a vast nature recovery area—Affric Highlands—connecting Loch Ness to Scotland’s west coast.
