Scotland faces a significant challenge to meet its pledges on protecting nature without more funding and a shift in attitudes, a senior conservation figure has warned.
Francesca Osowska, the outgoing chief executive of the agency NatureScot, said greater urgency and action was needed to meet a promise to restore 30% of Scotland’s natural environment by 2030.
In an interview with the Guardian, her last before leaving NatureScot, she said ministers should integrate nature restoration into policymaking across the government and its agencies in the same way the climate crisis had been fully integrated.

Do not besmirch the sweet nectar
