I hope this emphasis on habitat restoration & species recovery also pertains to protecting SSSIs & other habitats of existing very high biodiversity from damaging developments & management neglect.
A decision is expected soon about whether or not to #SaveCoulLinks from golf. bsky.app/profile/groa...

The similar Loch Fleet Ramsar SSSI golf planning application was refused by earlier centre-left SNP majority with Green influence but personnel change & politics is fickle.🤞

I vote for @snp.org & @scottishgreens.org MSPs because Scotland has PR but worry about right-wing shift. Representatives of other parties, like our @libdems.org.uk MP, @jamie4north.bsky.social, promote environmental destruction of Loch Fleet Ramsar SSSI.

There’s still time to #SaveCoulLinks.

A year ago, we gave evidence about the irreparable damage a golf course would do to this incredible place.

Its fate is in the hands of Scottish Ministers. Nearly 18,000 of you have asked them to stand up for nature.

Right now, Scottish Ministers are deciding if Coul Links will become a golf course.

As well as a globally-protected habitat, these Highland dunes are home to informal paths & the John o' Groats Trail, which up to 7 holes would cross.

You describe yourself as "Hard-hitting news & comment for the left" but list my @libdems.org.uk MP as a columnist. His 'environmentalism' on the proposed Loch Fleet SSSI golf course is materialistic & ignores ecological evidence on its destructiveness.

I joined Twitter to promote my petitions to #SaveCoulLinks #LochFleetSSSI, SPA & Ramsar wetland from golf, investing much time in it with little response, even from fellow campaigners, conservation charities & celebrities. I'm leaving Fritter/X after Scottish Government makes its planning decision.
