Support for Orkney

An ambitious project to safeguard Orkney’s world-renowned and internationally important native wildlife has been given the go ahead after receiving support from the National Lottery and the EU’S LIFE programme. The Orkney Native Wildlife Project, a partnership between RSPB Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), and Orkney Islands Council, is set to be the world’s largest project of its kind. It aims to safeguard the unique and internationally important native wildlife of Orkney now and into the future by addressing the threat it faces from the Stoat.
