Scotland’s nature agency has unveiled an ambitious plan which puts people at the heart of nature recovery in Scotland.
Published today (Tuesday 3 February), NatureScot’s four-year plan focuses on strengthening Scotland’s resilience to the damaging impacts of climate change by reconnecting people and nature, bringing its many benefits into everyone’s lives.
NatureScot is deeply committed to working closely with communities, farmers, fishermen, developers and local authorities to halt nature loss by 2030 and restore and regenerate Scotland’s nature by 2045.
By bringing people and nature together, the plan seeks to achieve a vision of Scotland where nature thrives and people flourish.
The many benefits of this approach are already being demonstrated in projects such as Species on the Edge. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, NatureScot and seven conservation charities are working hand-in-hand with local communities and land managers to secure a future for 37 of Scotland's most at-risk coastal species.
