Scottish Wolf Reintroduction Could Store 1 Million Tonnes of CO2 Annually
Reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands could increase carbon dioxide storage in expanding native woodlands by 1 million tonnes annually, reducing overgrazing by deer, and contributing to 5% of UK woodland carbon removal targets, despite potential conflict with farmers and deer stalkers.
