Protecting and restoring biodiversity
The world and Scotland are in the midst of a biodiversity crisis with nature at risk by habitats being lost, and many plants and animals facing extinction or large falls in their numbers. Biodiversity means having a wide variety of plants and animals living in an area.
There is also increasing evidence that our biodiversity benefits human health and well-being, and it plays a critical role in capturing and storing carbon to help reduce the effects of climate change.
We think that National Parks should work to protect and restore nature, which means that the land supports a wide range of animals and plants.
Why the contribution is important
Protecting nature will benefit animals, plants, humans and the climate. We want to hear your ideas on how this could be done by National Parks.
