A campaign group's attempt to release wild lynx into Northumberland's Kielder Forest has failed at the High Court. Lynx UK Trust wanted a three-year trial release of three animals from Sweden, but Natural England refused to assess the plan. Ms Justice Obi ruled the lynx is still covered by the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976, so the release could not lawfully go ahead in England.
