Collaborators
To carry out our research strategies, we have partnered up with a group of both local and UK-wide conservation organisations, ecologists and scientific specialists to develop our surveying methods, that will ultimately inform our intervention plans and recommendations for rewilding.
Collaborators include:
Prof Yadvinder Mahli, Professor of Ecosystem Science, Prof Nathalie Seddon, Professor of Biodiversity, and others across the university, are leading a team at the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery in a broad and deep 10-year collaboration with Highlands Rewilding. Our estates are one of three sites globally where the Oxford Team are focusing their in-depth nature-recovery research.
