Explore the ways you can make a difference for your local species on the edge – what will be your way?
Scotland’s coasts and islands are home to some of Scotland’s rarest wildlife. Sadly, our wildlife is in decline and without our help, many species face disappearing from Scotland forever.
Here at Species on the Edge, we believe that we can all play a part in helping protect the wildlife on our doorstep. Whatever your daily life looks like, whatever your skills and interests, we promise that there’s a way of helping nature that works for you. That’s why we’ve made this hub! Explore, get inspired, and help nature your way.
There are so many ways of helping your local species on the edge – and we believe there’s a way for everyone.
