Species on the Edge is a collaboration of eight conservation organisations in Scotland, working with communities across our coasts and islands to save our rarest and most vulnerable species from extinction.
Species on the Edge is taking a uniquely bold and collaborative approach to conservation in Scotland, bringing together expertise, staff and resources from across the conservation sector to tackle biodiversity loss.
Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are working with communities across Scotland’s coasts and islands to bring 37 of our rarest and most vulnerable species back from the edge of extinction. We are employing a multi-species approach, taking action that benefits a range of species, from birds to bees, beetles to leeches, butterflies to bats.
We are taking action for 37 of Scotland’s rarest and most vulnerable coastal species.
