Scotland is committing over £1 million to bolster nature recovery initiatives nationwide. This substantial investment will support a range of crucial projects, including habitat, species, and river restoration, as well as efforts to control invasive non-native species and manage deer populations.
A significant portion, £150,100, is designated for recovery work following the Abernethy wildfire in the Cairngorms. This funding will aid in restoring damaged habitats, assisting wildlife, and mitigating the risk of future wildfires, enhancing the resilience of these vital landscapes.
The funding is part of Scotland's broader commitment to environmental action, with Climate Action Secretary Gillian Martin highlighting nature's importance to well-being and the economy. The investment aims to translate national ambitions into practical, on-the-ground actions benefiting Scotland's environment, wildlife, and communities.
