Book excerpt: Scotland's countryside is one of her most precious assets, and today there is more widespread public awareness and concern about its quality and its future management than ever before. Here a group of distinguished speakers look back at changes in the environment and land use over the centuries, before looking in the 'crystal ball' to try and forecast where current events and trends are taking us. Their main purpose was to examine and consider what actions might be taken to ameliorate unwelcome trends and promote beneficial ones. The end product is an 'Agenda for Action' recommending the kinds of policies and practices that would be likely to enhance the environmental qualities most valued by society. This book summarises that 'Agenda' and the reasoning underlying it.

Download or read book Environment Scotland written by Eleanor McDowell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this volume provides the first thorough analysis of the elements of sustainable public policy in a devolved Scotland. Following the vote for a Scottish Parliament in the 1997 referendum, it explores the immediate and longer-term challenges likely to confront Scotland. The book brings together policy-thinkers and practitioners from academia, business, the voluntary sector and politics to ask: What are the key opportunities and constraints around sustainability? What practical difference will devolution make? What changes within and beyond government will be required to strengthen the roots of sustainable development? It includes the findings from a specially-commissioned opinion poll published in this volume for the first time. Offering a far-sighted analysis, the book poses a series of timely questions and offers policy recommendations for the next decade.
Download or read book Farming Forestry and the Natural Heritage written by Richard Davison and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been significant changes to farming and forestry, and new strategies for agriculture, forestry and biodiversity have been launched. The influence of farming and forestry on Scotland's landscapes is seen as increasingly important, and new access rights have been put in place by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. Although these changes bring uncertainty and challenges, they also bring a major opportunity to move decisively towards integrating landscape, biodiversity and recreational objectives in land management. This book takes stock of the changes taking places and considers a number of case studies, which together suggest that progress is being made, looks ahead at future research and advisory needs, and highlights some key challenges to achieving better integration in the future.

Pitted against a backdrop of rapidly changing land-use, climate change and economic challenges, we need the best evidence available to underpin the way we care for nature. Scotland has some of Europe's finest landscapes and wildlife. This volume provides a stock-take of environmental change across the land, water and seas of Scotland. Drawing on more than forty papers and posters presented at a conference organised by Scottish Natural Heritage and other agencies of the Scottish Government, the book provides a fresh overview of research, policies and grass root activities. Binding the chapters together is a rapidly evolving understanding of change, informed by the development of new metrics on trends and indicators.
