Saving Scottish Wildcats

Last year, Dr. Helen Senn, Head of Conservation and Science Programmes at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, delivered one of the CCI Conservation Seminars. She gave a fascinating insight into the efforts to save the Scottish Wildcat, which is on the brink of extinction in Scotland. The Saving Wildcats project, a European partnership, has now launched a new website which gives lots more information about these beautiful animals and their conservation.
