I’ve spoken up for Scotland’s nature!

The Natural Environment Bill's next debate on 19 November must make sure its strong enough to restore wildlife, protect our future, and unite us in recovery.
action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...
Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November. Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.
