Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project (SSGEP) launched in 2017 has successfully increased the population of golden eagles from 6 to around 50 birds; more than the region has seen in over 300 years. In just 6 years, 12 new territories have established and  first signs of breeding activity recorded. Through established translocation protocols collecting single chicks from nests of twins alongside the novel subadult translocation methodology the southern Scottish Population is thriving.  Stakeholder and community engagement has played a vital role is the success of the project. Our next goal is to support the return of golden eagles to Northern England.
