Learn more about the work we are doing with communities around Scotland to create lasting change for our most vulnerable coastal species.
Creating a lasting future for our target species depends on the collective efforts of individuals, communities and organisations working together. For this reason, people are at the heart of Species on the Edge.
Through awareness raising events, nature connection activities, citizen science, practical conservation, workshops, trainee schemes, a youth panel, creative projects, and much more, we are supporting local people in connecting with, valuing, and taking action for their local species. Together we can create meaningful change and help build a thriving environment for wildlife.
