Veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has warned that “nature is in crisis” as he urged people to unite behind action to save it
.
“I am hopeful for the future, because although nature is in crisis, now is the time for action, and together we can save it.” To help tackle the decline in nature, the Save Our Wild Isles campaign is calling on people to “go wild once a week” – which could include planting wildflower seeds, eating more plant-based food or getting involved in community projects.
“Nature underpins everything that makes our lives possible – from the air we breathe, to the clean water we drink, to the food we eat. “Everyone, everywhere can make a difference to nature in this country. Protecting and restoring nature needs to be at the heart of all decisions and we will see rapid change if we all stand together and act together.”
“Here in Scotland we are ramping up action. We are expanding and improving protected areas and investing in nature through our new Nature Restoration Fund, which is putting funds behind projects that conserve and restore our natural environment across Scotland.
