The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what progress is being made on implementing the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy in respect of enhancing protection afforded to ancient woodland.
The answer
Our Scottish Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Plans for 2005 to 2007 were published on 31 March this year. These plans include a range of targets for conserving biodiversity in Scotland’s woodlands.
Forestry Commission Scotland and the Executive’s Planning Division will shortly undertake a review with key stakeholders, which will aim to minimise losses of woodland biodiversity as a result of changes in land use. Part of the review’s remit will be to examine measures to ensure that ancient and semi-natural woodlands are adequately protected.
