What we’re doing

Through community engagement activities and hands-on practical conservation action, we’re dedicated to making a lasting impact for Scotland’s most vulnerable coastal species. Learn more about our work.

What we’re doing

We are working with local communities across seven project areas in Scotland to secure a future for 37 of our most vulnerable coastal species.

Species on the Edge employs a uniquely collaborative approach to conservation in Scotland – it brings together eight organisations from across the conservation sector, sharing resources, staff and expertise in a joint effort to tackle biodiversity loss across Scotland’s coasts and islands.

Through this collaborative approach to conservation, both within the conservation sector and with local communities, action for nature in Scotland is more efficient and impactful than ever.
