Scottish Environment LINK (SEL), a coalition of 50 nature groups including RSPB Scotland, Scottish Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust Scotland, has launched its manifesto for nature ahead of next year’s Holyrood election. The manifesto calls for increased investment in nature, action to protect Scotland’s species and habitats, and greater ambition for native woodlands, peatlands and seas. “But nature is in trouble and we need the next Scottish Government to act and to invest in its recovery. “Our manifesto is an optimistic one – with concrete solutions to the environmental crisis that can deliver for people and for the planet. “It is time for all political parties to show the leadership on nature and climate that the public demand and expect.”Read the manifesto here.
