Whilst researching my project on the re-introduction of the grey wolf (canis lupus) to the Glen Affric region of the Scottish Highlands I gathered some data on public perceptions of re-introducing this creature back into the Highland habitat. The charts below represent the results of the survey which I have carried out.
I will continue to gather information from people on their views and perceptions of this issue and update the information here on a regular basis.
