Doing your biodiversity duty

A duty to further the conservation of biodiversity was placed on all public sector bodies in Scotland in 2004. This biodiversity duty is about connecting people with the environment and managing biodiversity in the wider environment all around us, not just in specific protected sites.

These pages will help you to understand more about the Biodiversity Duty and provide some guidance on how to plan for and incorporate biodiversity in to your day-to-day work, and where to find practical guidance to do it.
