Biodiversity

Making Space for Nature

The Scottish Highlands are globally recognised for their striking landscapes. Covering over a third of Scotland’s land area, the Highlands support over 75% of UK priority habitats. The Scottish Biodiversity List contains more than 2000 priority species and over 1500 of these are found within the Highland region.

This is why it is very important for The Highland Council to support and enhance biodiversity on its own estate.
