UK - 'Crunch time' as #RothburyEstate bid hits £20m
Samantha Jagger, 12 August 2026
"#Conservation groups attempting to buy the entirety of a vast upland estate have two months to secure £9.3m.
"The #WildlifeTrusts and #NorthumberlandWildlifeTrust have raised £20.7m of a £30m target to purchase the 3,800 hectare (15-sq-m) Rothbury Estate in Northumberland, with plans to boost #wildlife, restore #bogs and promote #NatureFriendlyFarming.
"The trusts have said it is 'crunch time' to raise the remaining money by September, or the estate could be broken up and sold off.
"The Wildlife Trusts' chief executive Craig Bennett said the teams were 'bowled over by the response', with the trusts adding they were 'confident we can hit the target' with the continued support.
"The £20.7m amassed so far includes pledges and donations.
"North East brand Ringtons is the latest organisation to donate to the appeal with a £50,000 donation, while Northumberland #CyclingClub – #TheCyclingCranks - have given £1,000.
"The Wildlife Trusts has already bought a section of the land but is seeking donations to allow it to buy the rest."

🦬 The European bison or wisent, was hunted to extinction in the wild by 1927. Every one of the 9,700 wild individuals alive today descends from 12 European bison that survived in zoos! 🦬
Free-ranging herds are currently found in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Latvia, Switzerland, Kyrgyzstan, Germany with reintroduction programs in Denmark, France, Portugal, Spain, Czechia and many other countries

Eye of the Bison
I didn't know there were bison at Fota Wildlife Park, but near the end of my walk there with Henry we stopped at a field containing these large beasts! I wonder if they were overheating in their winter coats in the warm April sunshine, but I suspect the cold wind that blew through at intervals cooled them down. TIL that every European bison alive today descends from just twelve individuals. The species was hunted to extinction in the wild by the 1920s. The last truly wild one was shot in […]

Bison return to Portugal: 8 European #bison have been translocated to northern #Portugal as part of an ambitious #rewilding project https://geographical.co.uk/news/bison-return-to-portugal
"These huge #herbivores were once found across much of lowland #Europe, but hunting and habitat loss took their toll... Finally, in 1927 the last wild #EuropeanBison was shot in the Caucasus. Fortunately, 54 #animals did remain alive in captivity... Today, there are an estimated 9,000 wild bison living free in Europe"
We've had lots of interest in the two female #EuropeanBison born at Fota Wildlife Park which were released into the Blean woods near Canterbury, UK this summer. This was part of a flagship wilding project called the Wilder Blean, which is run by The Wildwood Trust and the Kent Wildlife Trust.
Our Lead Ranger, Aidan Rafftery, discusses the breeding and reintroduction projects ahead of the two bison leaving Fota earlier this year up on our YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/Jvq4srLGX4Y
