Saving the red squirrels is such a great project. Furry ears, bushy tails and a favourite for photographers and walkers to see.

Capercaillie numbers are declining rapidly in Scotland, out of the many threats linked to their decline, predation is often the most polarising. The recovery of Pine marten numbers in Scotland may present conflict, where conservation of one rare species could impact another.(1/6)

🤓 Did you know Scotland’s #soils are a massive carbon store, holding more than 3,000 megatonnes of carbon? That’s about 60 times the amount held in trees and plants, making soils our main carbon store on land. #ScotClimateWeek #ClimateNeedsNature Source orlo.uk/4XqGx
