DNA samples from four lynx that were captured after they were illegally released in Scotland could be used to help track down the culprits behind the ill-conceived scheme.
The main idea of the article is that police may use DNA samples from four lynx illegally released in the Scottish Highlands to track down the "guerilla rewilders" responsible.
The lynx, suspected to be from Ireland or another European country, were found to be too tame for the wild and likely came from a captive breeding program.
Conservationists and wildlife experts are concerned about the animals' well-being as well as the illegality of the release, arguing that proper reintroduction schemes involving careful planning and community consultation are essential for successful wildlife conservation.
