Scottish Biodiversity Strategy to 2045

This is the final updated version of our biodiversity strategy which sets out our clear ambition for Scotland to be Nature Positive by 2030, and to have restored and regenerated biodiversity across the country by 2045.


Conclusion

Although Scotland’s biodiversity is highly degraded, there is also evidence that we can halt 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, as part of our Strategic Framework for biodiversity in Scotland provides a path to deliver our Vision and Outcomes for 2045.

We all benefit from and 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.
