After 20 years and 1 million trees, red squirrels return to rewilded Scottish estate

An ambitious English businessman has reimagined a historic Scottish hunting estate as a lush wilderness reserve. His initiative, which includes the planting of over one million native trees, has revived populations of red squirrels in the glens. The project also emphasizes the restoration of peatlands and the breeding of Scottish wildcats, with funding from upscale eco-tourism driving significant conservation efforts to protect and restore local ecosystems for the future.
