Biodiversity fund launchedScotland's communities are being given extra help to improve and enhance their natural environment with new funding forbiodiversity projects.Up to 250,000 is being released by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) over the next two years to deliver biodiversityconservation at a local level.Speaking at the Scottish Biodiversity Forum Conference in Glasgow, Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "Ourvision for Scotland is for a healthy, sustainable natural environment that supports our communities and helps us address thechallenge of climate change. We can only do this if we act together to help protect the biodiversity that benefits society in somany ways. The community funding is an exciting development that will allow local people to make a real difference in theirareas. We are also thinking of the bigger picture as our natural environment has a key role to play in achieving sustainable

economic growth in Scotland. Our natural landscape and iconic species are closely-tied to our national identity and helpattract tourists from across the world. A recent study of wildlife tourism showed more than a million trips are made and over276 million is spent by people attracted by wildlife. Biodiversity also plays a massive part in supporting our industries. Ourfarmers and fishermen depend on the resources they harvest and need healthy ecosystems to ensure this continues. Thereis no single message that will promote the conservation of biodiversity but I hope we will reach some useful conclusions bythinking about what biodiversity does for us and how it can contribute to a sustainable, economic future."Susan Davies, SNH Director of Policy and Advice, said: "As healthy ecosystems are so important for Scotland's futureprosperity, we have made funding available for biodiversity projects through efficiency savings and a re-targeting of prioritiesat SNH. Communities across Scotland will be able to take on-the-ground action to help local wildlife and biodiversity with thisimportant fund."The conference, Bringing People and Biodiversity Together, was held at the University of Strathclyde on the August 24 and25. It was organised by Scottish Natural Heritage on behalf of the Scottish Biodiversity Forum, a collection of bodies with aninterest and involvement in delivering biodiversity conservation. The conference will showcase a mixture of cutting-edgeresearch, programmes and activities. It is aimed at those working to improve biodiversity, researchers and anyone with aninterest in the environment, health and education. Scottish Government: 25/08/2010
