Letter to Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform

RSPB Scotland has always believed that, because nature transcends national boundaries, it needs cross-border co-operation to protect it and a common set of international standards that enable it to thrive. Regardless of the future governance options or constitutional debates that may arise in Scotland following the EU referendum, RSPB Scotland will continue to campaign for the best standards of environmental legislation to safeguard our wildlife and to halt the impacts of climate change. With this in mind we, supported by other conservation organisations, have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Roseanna Cunningham MSP, to ensure that there is an equivalent or enhanced level of protection for wildlife as that which is currently provided for under EU law.

This letter to the Scottish Government mirrors the RSPB's calls across the UK following last week's referendum - you can read more on this in Martin Harper's blog.
