EXCLUSIVE: Survey reveals public concerned about effects of pollution and ocean warming amid worries nature is in decline.
More than four in five Scots are worried about the impact of climate change on Scotland’s nature, a new poll found. The Survation survey, shared with The Daily Record, revealed pollution and ocean warming are also major fears.
“Scotland’s nature emergency demands an emergency response from the Scottish Government. Our laws and policies must rise to the scale of the challenge.” A total of 39 per cent said it had got worse, compared to 31 per cent who said it was the same, and only 19 per cent who believe it has got better. Asked what posed the greatest risk to Scotland’s nature, 82 per cent listed pollution in their top three concerns.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Government is currently developing its next Biodiversity Strategy with plans after that for a new Natural Environment Bill – as ministers are under pressure to enshrine legally-binding measures to prevent nature loss. Scottish Environment LINK said the new strategy and Bill were "incredible opportunities to step up our efforts" on protecting biodiversity.
