FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The first pine martens to be reintroduced to England have had kits, marking a milestone in efforts to boost their recovery, conservationists said. The native carnivores all but vanished from England in the face of extensive hunting and loss of their woodland homes over the past two centuries, and in Scotland they were pushed to a stronghold in the north-west Highlands. Although the species has made a comeback in Scotland, they remain very rare in England, prompting the first formal reintroduction scheme in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester. The scheme, led by Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and Forestry England, with support from Vincent Wildlife Trust, the Woodland Trust and Forest Research, has marked a success with newly released females giving birth to young. The three-year reintroduction project, which follows a scheme to bring them back to Wales, aims to bring up to 60 pine martens to the Forest of Dean.
