Did you know that reindeer were once vastly native to Scotland?

They can be again!
Today we have around 150 demoseticated reindeer within the Cairngorms. Reintroduced in 1952 by Mikel Utsi from Sweden.

He found that reindeer thrive within scotland extremely well and the climate and temperatures match their needs. They also bring in tourists during winter.
Reindeer like most species in the UK were hunted to extinction, because we keep proving that we cant look after what we have, sustainably. Even still polititains are relucatant to invest in rebuidling an Ecological Utopia by reintoducing old species and rewilding dead landscapes.
