Scotland
Scotland is amazing for wildlife. From golden eagles to otters, red squirrels to wintering geese and huge seabird colonies - all set among rugged mountains, moorland, ancient Caledonian pine forests and miles of coastline.

Our nature reserves in Scotland include some of the wildest and most beautiful areas of the UK.
They provide wonderful opportunities to enjoy some of Scotland's spectacular wildlife and scenery, from the world-famous ospreys of Loch Garten to white-tailed eagles on Mull and Rhum.
Basing our work on a sound scientific understanding of what is happening in Scotland's countryside ensures our policies and the partnerships we build are successful. There is a great deal of interest in the conservation of Scotland's biodiversity, and we are pleased to be able to help foster and encourage this.
We have enjoyed numerous conservation successes, from playing a key role in the reintroduction of white-tailed eagles and red kites to Scotland, to increasing the fortunes of corncrakes.
However, the challenges we face are many and varied. These include working for greater protection and better management of seas and coastlines and stamping out the the deliberate destruction of Scotland’s birds of prey that has been a prominent issue for many decades.

There are a large range of habitats under management in the region, including lochs, sea cliffs, upland moors and wetlands.
Species protection projects include working with sporting estates to survey black grouse in Perth and Kinross, encouraging farmers to help preserve corn bunting populations in Buchan and managing land to enhance the breeding habitats of red-necked phalaropes in Shetland.

Our work is focused around a number of key themes: crofting, farming and farmland birds; peatlands; Caledonian pinewood; corncrakes and machair.
We work to help key species (like capercaillie, black grouse, white-tailed eagle, red kite, black-throated diver and Slavonian grebe) and nesting waders (such as lapwing, snipe, dunlin and redshank); and wildlife tourism.
These priorities are reflected in the nature reserves we own or manage, the projects we get involved with and the research and monitoring we undertake.
