The Natural Environment Bill could restore nature across Scotland. 🐦🌱🐝
But there's a problem.
Part of the Bill introduces powers that threaten our most important wildlife protections.

For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth.
Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are.
With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

There’s still time to #SaveCoulLinks.
A year ago, we gave evidence about the irreparable damage a golf course would do to this incredible place.
Its fate is in the hands of Scottish Ministers. Nearly 18,000 of you have asked them to stand up for nature.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌
We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.
The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Is Scotland's Natural Environment Bill a trick or a treat for nature?
Yesterday MSPs backed legal targets to restore wildlife, and many called for Part 2 to be fixed.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to turn things around for nature - we must get it right.

Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨
We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.

Agriculture is one of the biggest sources of emissions in Scotland - nature-friendly farming could be a major part of the solution, with benefits for food producers, wildlife and the climate.

Right now just 5% of Scotland’s farm funding directly supports nature-friendly farming. That’s nowhere near enough.
