Documentary that follows the Saving Wildcats team at Highland Wildlife Park as they work to protect one of the UK’s most endangered animals, the Scottish wildcat. Once a symbol of Scotland’s wild beauty, fewer than 100 of the species remain in the wild due to habitat loss and hybridisation. This film highlights the ambitious efforts of conservationists, scientists and volunteers collaborating to reintroduce wildcats into the Cairngorms National Park, aiming to restore a thriving, sustainable population. It’s a story of hope, resilience, and the fight to save an iconic species from extinction.
