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.

Scotland’s seas are amazing. They’re home to incredible wildlife, from whales, sharks and beautiful coral reefs to seabirds like puffins and gannets.
But our seas are under threat. Intensive use has destroyed habitats and driven many species into steep decline. We urgently need to bring Scotland’s seas back to life.
Healthy seas are crucial to coastal communities who rely on industries like fishing and wildlife tourism. And they’re key to tackling climate change, as marine ecosystems can store vast amounts of carbon.
On paper, Scotland already has a network of marine protected areas. But the fishing restrictions required to actually protect these areas have been delayed again and again. High-impact forms of fishing including trawling continue to deplete the life within them.
Members of Scottish Environment LINK are calling on the Scottish government to end the delays and urgently give our marine protected areas the protection they need.
Join us to find out more about marine protected areas and why protecting them is a crucial first step in helping Scotland’s seas recover.
