30 by 30 biodiversity commitment consultation response

This document contains a response from the Cairngorms National Park Authority to a consultation about meeting the '30 by 30' biodiversity commitment. The Park Authority supports the idea of flexible and resilient Nature Networks that allow for natural processes to adapt, but feels that the current system of designated sites can limit this. They suggest an ecosystems-based approach that allows for planned change and natural succession. They also believe legislation should reflect the urgent need to address threats to nature, and that management agreements should be reinforced to support ecosystem function and nature-based solutions, with a focus on community involvement and long-term financial support for habitat management.
