social and ecological implications. In the absence of LCs, burgeoning wild ungulate populations and extensive livestock grazing systems have drastically altered landscapes. Historical land-use changes, such as during the Highland Clearances, depopulated and
further dewilded landscapes to eradicate ‘backwardness’ and produce highly concentrated patterns of private land ownership.

for a nature positive vision for Scotland, reintroducing LCs has been flagged as a powerful intervention to combat the biodiversity crisis by conservation NGOs. But efforts to reintroduce LCs are controversial and highly contested, with the competing values
and objectives of stakeholders often unable to find common ground.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#70AD47;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">

consider the potential reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx and wolf in Scotland through a shifting baseline syndrome lens to review the social, psychological, cultural, ecological, and economic factors influencing their reintroduction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#70AD47;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">

We argue that the lack of precise data about the impacts of LCs and the loss of lived interactions and experiences has resulted in the cultural transformation of these species to varying degrees. Vicarious experiences such as folklore and pop culture have
become societally predominant, enabling myths and wishful thinking about wolves in particular to proliferate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#70AD47;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">

Scottish landscape, with or without LCs, could help achieve livelihood, biodiversity, and carbon aspirations. We make several recommendations that could contribute to bridging knowledge gaps and moving from conflict to tolerance. Most importantly, to prioritise
and empower local communities through policy and conservation decision-making processes to ensure that any transition is socially just and economically feasible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li></ol>
