Biodiversity strategy to 2045: tackling the nature emergency - draft

Conclusion

Although Scotland’s biodiversity is highly degraded, there is also evidence that we can reverse the declines and reverse biodiversity loss. We have a renewed understanding of the need to prioritise actions to restore and regenerate biodiversity across government and wider society.

This Strategy and the supporting Framework for biodiversity in Scotland provides a path to deliver our Vision and Outcomes for 2045.

We all benefit from – depend on – biodiversity to stay alive and we all contribute to biodiversity loss through our actions and choices – so the Nature Emergency really is everybody’s problem. At the same time, however, that means it’s in our hands to make the choices which will reverse biodiversity loss in Scotland by 2045.
