They change the behaviour of the species they predate upon, keeping animals moving which prevents overgrazing and allows saplings and new growth to establish. The carcases they leave fertilise the soil and provide a food source for other animals. The lynx was persecuted to extinction in Great Britain in the Middle Ages, although some records suggest their presence in Scotland up until the 18th century, and their reintroduction could be a possible solution for controlling deer populations in the Scottish highlands.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why my family and I are committed to animal conservation, with a strong interest in Lynx, and are supporting these projects in Devonshire.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countryside Pursuits Having been born and grown up in the countryside of Devonshire, on the north side of Dartmoor National Park, Paul has a deep connection and profound respect for all aspects of country living and admiration for the individuals and families who actively manage the land and resources, often for generations.
