Meeting description: We highlighted the latest State of Nature report which among other things shows that Scottish wildlife has decreased by 15% on average since 1994 and that the loss of biodiversity is continuing. We spoke about what we see as the urgent need to tackle the systemic drivers of nature loss including climate change and habitat loss through changes in land use. We outlined our support for the Scottish Government's direction of travel on grouse moor licensing muirburn licensing consulting on the closure of Scottish waters to commercial sandeel trawling and legally binding targets for nature restoration. We also highlighted the Save our Wild Isles campaign which seeks to encourage members of the public to take action for nature and to help people connect with nature.
