The Scottish Government's major new biodiversity blueprint is aiming to halt nature loss by the end of the decade - and 'restore' nature by 2045.
An emergency response is needed to tackle nature loss and prevent the wipe out of some of Scotland’s rarest species, a Scottish Government report has warned.
The Scottish Government strategy remains a draft report until it has considered any agreements signed off at the UN summit. Greens biodiversity minister Lorna Slater, who is at COP15, said: “Just like climate change, the loss of species and degradation of our natural environment is an existential threat to humanity.
Other species which feature on an official Scottish Biodiversity List of habitats and species deemed at risk include the Arctic Skua, a seabird on the RSPB’s red list of endangered birds. Lapwings, cuckoos, turtle doves and grouse are among other bird species to feature on the red list.

That would mean “reversing the downward curve of biodiversity loss so that levels of biodiversity are once again increasing, bending the curve of biodiversity loss”, officials said.
