In early May 2019 we were lucky enough to travel to this iconic conservation space which crosses the borders of three American States – Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. The main reason for travelling to Yellowstone was simply to see the stunning array of wildlife that attracts almost 5 million visitors a year to the park, but it was also to gain a better insight into the famous wolf reintroduction programme and identify what lessons, if any, could be applied back here in bonny Scotland. This blog will look at the outcomes of that reintroduction, describe our observations and briefly look into other considerations and the Scottish dimension.
