“As I write, in early July 2025, threatening plumes of smoke sweep across the horizon. Dava Moor, twelve miles from Laikenbuie Ecology Trust, is on fire. The wildfire currently spans over nine miles. As well as the terrible impact on local people, I grieve for the animals. Endangered northern damselflies and white-faced darters live in lochs now surrounded by flames. Never has it felt more pressing to restore health to our habitats and increase Scotland's resilience to climate change.” Climate ChangeEndangered SpeciesWildfire2025DamselflyDarterDava MoorLochanMorayMuirburn Book:Reforesting Scotland 72: Autumn/Winter 2025 Source: Reforesting Scotland 72: Autumn/Winter 2025
