'No ecological reason' against reintroducing wolves

17 May 2014 Last updated at 01:06

A landscape conservation charity has said there was "no ecological reason" why wolves could not be reintroduced to Scotland.

In the latest edition of its journal, the John Muir Trust (JMT) said the animal had been demonised in the UK.

It has raised the issue of bringing back the wolf as part of a wider discussion on "rewilding" the UK.

JMT said that over the next few months it hoped to stimulate debate on returning areas to more natural states.

In the John Muir Trust Journal, chief executive Stuart Brooks said the charity wanted to help develop a practical vision on rewilding.

Rewilding includes controlling grazing by domestic and wild animals so native trees and plants can flourish.
