研究人员提议重新向苏格兰引进狼群 以控制鹿,提振树林,并削减二氧化碳 Researchers propose reintroducing wolves to Scotland to control deer, boost woods, and cut CO2.

Leeds大学的研究人员认为,将大约167头狼重新引入苏格兰高地可有助于控制红鹿人口,促进天然林地的再生。 Researchers at the University of Leeds suggest that reintroducing approximately 167 wolves into Scotland's Highlands could help control the red deer population, promoting natural woodland regeneration. 这可以每年再储存100万吨二氧化碳,从而达到联合王国林地碳清除目标的5%左右。 This could store an additional one million tonnes of CO2 annually, contributing to about 5% of the UK's woodland carbon removal target. 虽然该提案旨在解决气候和生物多样性问题,但它可能面临农民和鹿的跟踪者提出的争议。 While the proposal aims to address climate and biodiversity issues, it faces potential controversy from farmers and deer stalkers.
