Why Scottish Natural Heritage not making Application
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) did apply to the Scottish Executive for a licence for a trial to reintroduce beavers to Scotland.
Since then the Scottish Government and SNH have launched the Species Action Framework (January 2007) in which it has prioritised 32 species across the country. One key aim of the SAF is that SNH is keen for others to lead on individual species action.
In the previous application, SNH’s role in advising and leading on conservation projects was unclear and where a third party takes forward a project independent of SNH, SNH’s role as an advisor and monitor is more defined.
