We’re very disappointed to hear today that plans for a new National Park in Galloway have been scrapped. It’s been over 20 years since Scotland created its only two National Parks. Loch Lomond & The Trossachs and the Cairngorms have since evolved into important landscapes for both people and nature. A third National Park in Scotland – in Galloway or elsewhere – would bring huge benefits for nature, communities and climate. The Scottish Government must now step up and take urgent action to show it is committed to tackling the nature and climate crisis. This news makes it even more vital the Natural Environment Bill drives the nature recovery we so desperately need.

Our reaction to the Scottish Government's decision not to continue with a new National Park in Galloway.

The latest Waterbirds in the UK report (using data from WeBS & GSMP) shows positive news for Pink-footed Geese! 🎉📈

⚠️ BTO research predicts devastating declines in seabird populations in Britain & Ireland under future climate change. Some species face staggering losses by 2050, with up to 90% declines for Puffin and more than 70% declines for Arctic Tern and Fulmar. ➡️ bit.ly/seabirds-climate #Ornithology
