Information on UK Biodiversity Action Plan species found in Scotland

Fungi, lichens, mosses & liverworts, butterflies & moths and other invertebrates

The Scottish Biodiversity Dossiers  project collates concise, accessible and up to date information to help you manage threatened species. The project focuses on less well known groups of species - fungi, lichens, mosses and liverworts, butterflies and moths and other inverterbrates - where information tends to be harder to find.
