"Scottish Wildcats Project Seeks Fresh Funding Amid Brexit Challenges"

The Saving Wildcats project in Scotland faces funding challenges post-Brexit, crucial for continuing the captive breeding of endangered Wildcat species in the Cairngorms National Park.

• Saving Wildcats has successfully released 46 cats into the Cairngorms National Park over the past three years, aiding the conservation of the Wildcat species.
• The project, managed by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, has seen female Wildcats producing litters, indicating progress in breeding efforts.
• Due to Brexit, Saving Wildcats can no longer access vital European Union funding, prompting the need for new financial strategies to prevent extinction of the species.
