Many of the environmental issues that the UK faces continue to be worse because we are an island off the coast of Europe. Unlike France, we have to make the conscience choice to reintroduce wolves, where as in France they have returned naturally.
Recent rewilding efforts in Germany and Belgium, saturated the local wildcat population leading to them spreading to Holland next door.
Wildcats disappeared from Holland in the middle ages. With flatter heads and longer legs than its domestic cousin, the wildcats reappearance is hugely encouraging for environmentalists.
The wildcat started to return in 2013. Pine marten have also returned since 2015.
Long may this move continue
