Government Europa have criticised plans made by a Scottish government sponsored project to turn vital Scottish wildcat habitat into a windfarm.

Government agency Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has come under fire in particular, given its responsibility for defending environmental and conservation concerns. SNH launched a dedicated wildcat conservation project, called Scottish Wildcat Action, in 2015 with a budget of £2m. However, since the establishment of the project, natural wildcat populations have dropped by 75%, and SNH has come out in support of the plan to clear-fell parts of Clashindarroch Forest.
