Head of Natural England, Tony Juniper said he's "enthusiastic" about lynx reintroduction. Time to prove it.

Following the recent article in The Guardian, exposing the government deadlock to bring back lynx to the UK, our Director Paul O'Donoghue has written directly to Mr Juniper.

The message was clear:"I was very pleased to see how enthusiastic you were regarding lynx reintroduction... Can we now confirm the draft application will now be reviewed and feedback provided?"

So Tony, it’s over to you. We’re all waiting.

That's exactly why we've launched legal action:
https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/bring-back-the-lynx/

Here’s where we stand:

  • Our draft license application was submitted 2 YEARS AGO with no review.
  • Tony Juniper is publicly "enthusiastic" about lynx return.
  • There is 92.8% public support for reintroduction.
  • Richard Buxton Solicitors instructed to take legal action against government departments passing the bureaucratic buck.

Your support funds the legal work to complete the mission we’ve started- bringing the lynx back to the UK, where they belong.


PLEDGE NOW: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/bring-back-the-lynx/

Every CrowdJustice pledge brings us closer to ending 8 years of delays and 1,300 years since lynx were eradicated from Britain.

The future of British forests is waiting. Time for less conversation, more conservation.

Many Thanks,

Paul

Director, Lynx UK Trust
