General Wildlife information resources and Services

Scottish Wildlife Trust's Scotland’s greatest asset is its natural environment. Since 1964, SWT has continuously contributed to the enhancement and preservation of habitats and wildlife throughout the country. We believe that through encouraging access to wildlife, we can involve people in understanding, conserving and shaping our landscape for the better.

Scottish Natural Heritage Scotland's natural heritage underpins our economy, our health, our education, our well-being. A healthy environment leads to healthy people and a healthy economy. Our mission is based on a simple principle: we must care for and sustain our natural heritage if we want it to sustain us. Our role is to look after the natural heritage, help people to enjoy and value it, and encourage people to use it sustainably.

Scottish Badgers bringing together Scotland's badger groups.

Highland Badgers The Highland Badger Network is a loose-knit collection of people with the common interest of protecting the welfare of badgers living in the Scottish Highlands. We operate under the umbrella of the national body "Scottish Badgers" who are recognised by the Scottish Executive, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Police as the voice of badgers in Scotland.

Badger Trust promotes the conservation and welfare of badgers and the protection of their setts and habitats for the public benefit. We are the leading voice for badgers and represent and support around 80 local voluntary badger groups. Badger Trust provides expert advice on all badger issues and works closely with Government, the police and other conservation and welfare organisations.

Today, though, just 1% of the forest remains, and species such as the beaver, wild boar and lynx have gone. It's up to us to ensure the survival of this ancient and remarkable woodland. It's Scotland's equivalent of the rainforest and it urgently needs our help..
