A poll for Scottish Environment LINK finds Scots are noticing impacts like climate change and fewer birds and insects in their neighbourhoods.
Eight in ten Scots are worried about the state of their local environment and have noticed eco damage like nature loss and climate change , a poll has found.
And a huge 87 per cent of Scots feel that the country’s coastal communities are very or fairly vulnerable to climate change. Campaigners said the findings show people understand nature is “in crisis” in Scotland as they urged action from the government. With one in nine species in Scotland at risk of extinction, Holyrood ministers had previously vowed a huge effort to halt nature loss by 2030 and restore the nation’s biodiversity by 2045.
“The Scottish Government should commit to bringing forward a Natural Environment Bill and to introducing legal targets to restore nature at the earliest opportunity.”
