The project will boost the condition of the most important sites for nature on 11 reserves, trialling innovative conservation techniques, to show how Scotland can meet its most ambitious biodiversity targets. We want to demonstrate how best practice land management solutions can be replicated on areas with important habitats and species throughout Scotland

Protected areas
Many species and habitats in Scotland are nationally and internationally important and safeguarded by protected areas. These areas often require active management.
In Scotland, the effectiveness of protected areas is measured by looking at the condition of the special species, geology and habitats protected by the site. When they are doing well they are said to be in “favourable condition”. There has been progress in improving the condition of protected areas across Scotland, but more must be done to ensure that Scotland’s amazing nature sites are thriving.

The RSPB looks after many special places in Scotland.
100% for Nature aims to make sure those places are the best they can be for nature.
The European Commission is supporting a project that will see £2m invested in some of our most precious habitats.
"NatureScot is pleased to support this exciting project to improve the condition of protected areas on RSPB reserves. Protected areas play a critical role in safeguarding biodiversity. Ensuring that Scotland’s amazing nature sites are in the best possible condition will require collaboration and cooperation across government, landowners, businesses and NGOs. This project will make a great contribution to that effort."
