Tony Juniper, chair of Natural England, has voiced his support for reintroducing Eurasian Lynx to the British countryside.

Juniper said he would be "absolutely delighted" if a trial could proceed during his current term, but acknowledged that public opinion remains divided and called for more community engagement before any reintroduction goes ahead.

The Lynx UK Trust has submitted a draft application for a trial release of Eurasian Lynx in Kielder Forest, Northumberland, using animals rescued from culls in Sweden. The species, which has been extinct in Britain since the Middle Ages, has successfully been reintroduced in several European countries and now numbers around 18,000 individuals across the continent.
