Nature loss and climate change and how to be part of the solution

https://www.nature.scot/nature-loss-and-climate-change-and-how-be-part-solution

We speak to Debbie Bassett, NatureScot's Climate Change and COP Coordinator, who explains so well how climate change and nature loss are linked, what COP15 and COP26 mean for us all and what we can all do to make more space for nature in our lives.

A great listen - follow Debbie's advice and let's all be part of the change!

A coastal landscape of the Isle of May captured from an elevated perspective looking down at the sea and cliffs. On the left dark-rugged asalt rock columns and cliffs meet the deep blue ocean with white surf crashing against the base. A small pebble beach or rocky shoreline is visible near the cliffs, blending into green moss or algae. The top half of the cliff face is covered in a vibrant green grassy plateau that extends in the distance. In the far background, a faint structure resembling a lighthouse.

The Isle of May is celebrating a huge milestone this month, marking 70 years as a National Nature Reserve (NNR)
