Leading environmental groups have today launched a new campaign calling on the Scottish government to bring forward legislation to protect nature.

The campaign, Scotland Loves Nature, is backed by 43 organisations, including RSPB Scotland, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, and WWF Scotland.

The coalition are demanding the Scottish government introduce a Natural Environment Bill to bring in legal targets to restore nature. These targets would commit the Scottish government to preventing the extinction of wildlife and halting the decline of nature by 2030, and to make significant progress in restoring Scotland’s natural environment by 2045.
