A new study by a coalition of nature charities found Scotland's globally rare temperate rainforests on the west coast were at risk
Surging numbers of deers in Scotland are one of the biggest threats to the survival of vital temperate rainforests, a new report has found.
Scotland’s globally important temperate rainforests are found on the west coast but have been in decline for centuries.And ScotLINK - a coalition of nature charities - said while the Scottish Government has boosted funding for deer management, much of this has been spent on deer fencing. The study, commissioned by Woodland Trust Scotland, said more needed to be done to reduce deer’s negative impact on the rainforest, including developing a “community approach” to deer stalking and supporting new technologies like thermal and drone surveying.
“In the coming years we need to see clear evidence of rainforest regeneration and expansion, thereby also helping to tackle the nature and climate emergency.”
