Scottish Biodiversity List

The Scottish Biodiversity List is a government-approved register of species and habitats in Scotland that are considered most important for conservation. It highlights plants, animals, and ecosystems that are rare, endangered, or vital for the health of the environment. By identifying these key elements, the list guides efforts to protect and restore Scotland’s natural variety, ensuring their survival for future generations. It helps policymakers, conservationists, and landowners prioritize actions that support biodiversity across the country.
