AN exhibition on reintroducing lynx to the UK is set to tour southern Scotland in a bid to drum up support for the project.
Created by Limbic Cinema, the team behind the successful Spectra Festival of Light in Aberdeen, it allows visitors to immerse themselves into the history of the lynx in Britain.
The exhibition’s first Scottish date will take place in Newscastleton on June 12 – 15 before travelling to Bonchester Bridge and Moffat Town Hall later in the summer. “The partners would support a release of lynx in England if there is both an area in Britain where lynx can live, and local people are accepting of the animal.
NSA chief executive Phil Stocker said that the public would be equally repulsed by attacks on sheep by lynx as they are by attacks committed by domestic dogs. She said: “At the moment the Missing Lynx Project is at the start of a conversation about lynx – we want to listen to people and hear their opinions.“Interviews, questionnaires and workshops are happening alongside a travelling exhibition – and we welcome everyone to voice their opinion.
“In Europe – in France, Germany and Switzerland where people coexist with these animals, solutions have been developed to reduce risk to sheep.
