Great news for nature and a big step towards a Rewilding Nation 🌳 Yesterday MSPs voted to create a law obliging the owners of large landholdings (over 1,000 hectares) to publish plans on how they will increase biodiversity and adapt to climate breakdown, as part of the new Land Reform Bill. Scotland’s largest estates will now have a legal duty to set out how they’re restoring nature. The Scottish Rewilding Alliance has campaigned for the change as part of its #RewildingNation campaign, supported by thousands of people across Scotland.  “This new law represents a big step towards Scotland becoming the world’s first Rewilding Nation…How land is managed is a key part of tackling climate breakdown and reversing biodiversity loss – and in Scotland, where land ownership is highly concentrated, large landholdings have a key role in repairing Scotland’s ecosystems.” - Steve Micklewright, our CEO and co-convenor of the Scottish Rewilding Alliance.
