The Missing Lynx Exhibition

We’re hosting a Missing Lynx exhibition, visiting local venues in the project area so that people can find out about this missing mammal and share their views on lynx reintroduction. 

 

See below for venues and dates.

The free, family-friendly exhibition is touring Northumberland, the edge of Cumbria and the border of southern Scotland. Using interactive displays, the exhibition brings the lynx to life. Visitors can discover how our wild places have changed over the years, how nature has been lost and how it might fare better in the future. The exhibition charts the lynx’s comeback across Europe and how restoring missing species can help nature to recover. The final installation even offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in a wilder world, standing side by side with this missing mammal, surrounded by bird song.
