Where do we want nature to get to?

It is no longer enough to just work to protect what is here now. We must proactively and vigorously re-build and restore a richer nature that will continue to yield us and our world benefits for long into the future.

“It’s time to pay nature back. This needs to be our legacy.”

Future Nature is guided by a long-term vision, matched to the Scottish Government objectives, to end the decline and ensure the restoration of nature.

Bringing our vision to life

In 2030…

  • Future Nature has a strong and effective partnership
  • We are addressing key threats to nature
  • We are managing key elements of our nature network
  • Nature is embedded and mainstreamed in processes and governance which are delivering benefits across the National Park
  • We are raising awareness and inspiring others to get involved

What will this look like – A Future Nature landscape

Existing and past land uses have all shaped the iconic landscape and views which are such a critical part of why people love our National Park. As we seek ambitious nature restoration across the National Park – this too will impact and continue the long evolution of our iconic landscape.

For the Future Nature Route Map, we developed scenarios of what some areas of the Park might look like if we achieve the Future Nature vision. These are scenarios only, not images of real places in the Park and not detailed proposals for specific locations.
