Part 5/7:
While many support efforts aimed at restoring the Highlands, there is palpable tension among traditional hunters. Neil Roland, residing in the West Highlands, worries that the aggressive push for rewilding undermines an important part of their cultural identity. Hunting has deep roots in Scottish history, and the decline in traditional hunting practices could have broad implications for local economies and the cultural fabric of the Highlands.
Roland reflects on the potential dangers of extensive rewilding and emphasizes the need for sustainable management of natural resources that effectively balances economic and ecological needs.
