Flo Blackbourn: Why Not Scotland?

About Flo Blackbourn: Why Not Scotland?

Part of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's Inspiring People talk series!

In summer 2023, wildlife researcher Flo created this feature-length documentary film as she embarked on an intensely personal journey around nature restoration projects and rewilded areas across Europe.

Like many of her generation, she was concerned by the state of nature and fearful about an uncertain future. However, she discovered places where nature was making a spectacular comeback, breathing life back into the landscape and revitalising human communities. Encouraged by these stories of hope and renewal, she was prompted to wonder, why not Scotland?
