What if you could play a part in saving a species from the brink of extinction? Join us for a fascinating conversation with Dr Keri Langridge, Field Manager for the Saving Wildcats partnership, from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, and Dr Roo Campbell from NatureScot, about one of our rarest and most threatened mammals: the wildcat. 

We'll explore their distinct physical features, their historical significance in Scotland, and the substantial threats they encounter, including the risk of hybridisation with domestic cats.

The Saving Wildcats partnership is dedicated to establishing a thriving wildcat population in Scotland. We hear about the wildcats recently released into the wild, the diligent monitoring techniques used to safeguard their survival, potential future hurdles, and how we can all help this species not only survive but thrive in Scotland.
