Scotland’s people love Scotland’s nature. It’s part of who we are.
We know nature is struggling. But just like people, nature can recover. Together, we can help Scotland’s amazing wildlife and wild places to thrive.
Join us to demand action to restore Scotland’s nature now.
Scotland’s nature is vital to all of us. It brings us joy, it gives us food and clean water, and it’s key to the fight against climate change.
But with one in nine species at risk of extinction in Scotland, nature needs our help. We need urgent action to help it recover.
This autumn MSPs in the Scottish parliament will debate the Natural Environment Bill, which is a vital opportunity to set strong and meaningful targets for nature recovery.
MSPs from all political parties will have a say on the bill. We need them to know how much nature matters to Scotland’s people.
Make your voice heard! Join us outside the Scottish parliament on 12 June to demand action for nature.
