Nature30 Nature30 represents a fresh approach to conservation. They recognise areas that deliver positive, sustained, and long-term outcomes for biodiversity.

Is this one of the most important developments in nature conservation this year? @naturescot.bsky.social & Scottish Government confirm a new approach to safeguard areas for nature with the #Nature30 initiative.

It's encouraging to see progress on this key biodiversity target.

Ultimately, #Nature30 needs to be more than a recognition of management that contributes to nature protection; it also needs to help support meaningful change across large, new areas of land.

🌿 This week, #Nature30 has been launched by the Scottish Government and NatureScot!

This recognises nature-friendly land management outside formal Protected Areas.

We're proud to have helped shape this process as a pilot site at Barrahormid 👉 www.highlandsrewilding.co.uk/blog/piloting-nature30
