Tooth and Claw: Living Alongside Britain’s Predators

Based in the heart of Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park, Peter Cairns is a freelance nature photographer with a deep fascination for our relationship with the natural world. In addition to documenting Europe’s high-profile wildlife species, his work focuses on a diverse range of issues such as wildlife management, ecological restoration, eco-tourism and evolving land-use regimes. In “Tooth & Claw”, the realisation that wildlife politics is not about wildlife but about us, comes to the fore. With Mark Hamblin he is the author of “Wild Land, Images of Nature from the Cairngorms”.
