"Rewilding in Scotland has created a more than 400% increase in jobs, research
has found amid calls for it to continue.
Research by Rewilding Britain shows 35 jobs have been created at one site alone
in the Highlands since 2008.
The research found there has been a 412% increase in jobs at 13 major rewilding
projects covering almost 60,000 hectares, including sites owned or managed by
charities, communities, private landowners, and public bodies.
Full-time equivalent jobs across the sites increased from 24 before rewilding
to 123, across sectors including hospitality, estate management, ecology,
environmental monitoring, rewilding interventions, recreation, and education.
The largest recorded rise in jobs was at Trees for Life’s 4,000-hectare
Dundreggan estate near Loch Ness in the Highlands, a former deer stalking
estate.
Since 2008, some 35 jobs have been created in addition to the sole previous
position, while volunteer numbers have risen from zero to 100."
