Scottish Government's plans for the restoration of nature revealed

The Scottish Rewilding Alliance welcomes the publication of the consultation on Scotland’s Strategic Framework for Biodiversity. This monumental document paves the way for Scotland to bring nature back from the brink. 

The newly published consultation document provides a plan that will benefit every part of Scotland - every person, every habitat, every animal, every plant. The Scottish Rewilding Alliance shares the view of the Scottish Government that our economy, jobs, health and wellbeing depend on our ability to tackle the extinction crisis. 

The Alliance is a collaboration between more than 20 organisations which share a mission to enable rewilding at a scale new to Scotland. The Scottish Rewilding Alliance will submit a response to the consultation on Scotland’s Strategic Framework for Biodiversity that will focus on how rewilding can support this vision, look for ways to strengthen the connection between people and nature - and champion the urgent need for action. 

Rewilding challenges us to see that humans are one species among many, bound together in an intricate web. It's time for all of us to play our part and help halt the decline of nature. 

With the Scottish Government's plans for the restoration of nature revealed, Scotland is closer than ever to becoming a Rewilding Nation.
