We're up to an amazing 160,000 signatures on the petition to protect Clashindarroch Forest! Again, thank you so very much for the support it's incredible.
I'm attaching another short film I made with Wildcat Haven recently, which summarises the situation these wildcats and the other local wildlife find themselves in, and I've got another ask I hope you can help me with.
We need to make sure the decision makers in Scottish Government really start to pay attention to this, so if you get a chance over the weekend, please write to the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, asking her to protect Clashindarroch Forest, you can contact her at:

SAMPLE EMAIL
To the First Minister of Scotland,
Dear Nicola Sturgeon,
I am extremely concerned for the future of the endangered Scottish wildcats found in Clashindarroch Forest, Aberdeenshire.
Forestry Commission Scotland logging has failed to identify territories and clear felled them as a result, even in breeding and kitten season.
The disturbance this creates is against the laws that protect wildcats, their habitats, dens and resting places.
Many other rare species live in this forest and are also threatened by the logging and the disturbance it causes.
Planned wind farm installations at Clashindarroch will flatten even more of the forest, though there are so many other places wind turbines could go.
I have joined over 160,000 other people on Change.org asking for this forest to be protected for the wildlife that lives there.
Please intervene and protect Clashindarroch from logging activities and other commercial exploitation so that future generations can enjoy living alongside animals like the Scottish wildcat.
Yours Sincerely,
(SIGN YOUR OWN NAME)
