A new report published today has revealed the potentially devastating consequences Scotland could face if accelerated action is not taken to protect and restore nature.

The report, titled “Act now, save later”, is a collaboration between the Scottish Wildlife Trust and The University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes, and was funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

It examines two potential scenarios of what Scotland could look like in 2045, depending on how much funding and support is given to nature conservation. These scenarios are based on desk-based research and information discussed at a workshop with stakeholders working in the fields of economics, biodiversity and wider environmental issues.
