For a better climate, environmentalists are reforesting the Scottish Highlands with millions of trees. In order for the forest to grow undisturbed, thousands of deer have to die because the game damages the young shoots. This is causing discussions because the region’s hunters fear that the reduced population will result in a loss of an important source of income: hunting tourism. As part of the “Net Carbon Zero” strategy, the UK wants to plant a total of 24 million trees over the next few years to offset its carbon footprint. After the First World War, only around five percent of Scotland was forested, and by 2050 this should be 25 percent again – a mammoth project with a model character for other forest-poor regions in Europe.
