Alladale Wilderness Reserve
Alladale Wilderness Reserve is a privately owned estate in the Caledonian Forest in north-east Scotland. It is being managed so as restore it to its natural state by increasing the tree cover of the valley, reintroducing native animals which are no longer found in Britain and encouraging biodiversity. Alladale Wilderness Reserve is currently the United Kingdom's largest wilderness engineering and rewilding area.
==Environmental Degradation & Biodiversity Losses in the British Isles==
7,000 years ago, Britain was heavily forested. It would have been populated with wolves, bears, lynx, elk and a myriad of other large animals (). But humans began to cut down a lot of the native forest, to make room for farmland. Almost all the large mammals had been forced into extinction by various means. Wolves were the last to go, becoming extinct in Scotland and Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries respectively.
Britain 7,000 years ago probably would have looked more like the untamed wilderness of Alaska, than the criss-cross of farmland seen today. The remotest highlands of Scotland prove to be the best candidates for rewilding in Britain.
