Can Scotland’s Wildcats Be Saved? | Dr Helen Senn | Podcast #95 3629

November 6, 2026

In this episode of the Restore Our Planet podcast, we speak with Dr Helen Senn from Saving Wildcats, an ambitious conservation project working to restore Scotland's critically endangered wildcat population. Once widespread across Britain, Scottish wildcats have suffered dramatic declines due to habitat loss, persecution and interbreeding with domestic cats. Today, they are among Britain's rarest and most threatened native mammals. Dr Senn discusses the challenges facing wildcats, the science behind their conservation, and the pioneering efforts to breed and release wildcats into the Scottish Highlands.
