Great news! First Minister John Swinney announced on 4 September that his government will set legally binding targets for nature recovery through a Natural Environment Bill to be introduced by June 2025.
This is fantastic new for Scotland's nature, and it's thanks to you! Supporters of the Scotland Loves Nature campaign sent more than 13,000 emails to their MSPs in just seven weeks, making it clear how important nature is to Scotland's people.
Now it’s vital that we keep up the pressure. As well as setting ambitious targets that will drive action, the Scottish government must put funding in place to help our amazing nature recover.
Nature underpins our food production, supports our economy, and is our first line of defence against climate change. Investment in nature is investment in our future.
