It is also fundamental if we are to balance the needs of species and their conservation and also to navigate human/species conflicts which can occur.
The SGA advocates for working and accessible species licensing mechanisms that get the balance right. Species licensing also takes on greater significance when there is a Nature Emergency and we run the risk of losing more iconic species.
You, our members, now have a chance to give your views on NatureScot’s Species Licensing processes in Scotland by completing this questionnaire
We know this is important to you because you tell us, so please take the time to fill this in.
Of particular interest will be the 1000 character space in Question 1 which allows members to give their views on the principles underpinning NatureScot’s processes for licensing lethal control.
Wildlife management can be a difficult subject for some to consider but, at the SGA, we know the many benefits that can stem from good licensing processes.
The deadline is Wednesday 20th November
