Artists move to save Scottish Wildcat

Artists move to save Scottish Wildcat - The Scottish wildcat is Britain’s very own critically endangered wild feline with less than 400 individuals left in the wild. Whilst Government is working out what to do about the problem an unexpected mixture of film-makers, writers, sculptors and photographers, united by their interest in the species, have started working towards its conservation. Artists ranging from legendary authors to cutting edge film-makers are teaming with a new charity, the Scottish Wildcat Association, to bring public attention and much-needed funds to Scotland’s infamous wildcats. Private, solitary, wary and elusive, these 400 cats are top of every wildlife watcher’s list of must-see British mammals but could be gone within a decade.
