  • Motion reference: S5M-18133

That the Parliament congratulates Froglife Scotland on securing £618,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for its Come Forth for Wildlife project; understands that Froglife is a charity concerned with the conservation of amphibians and reptiles through on-the-ground conservation, environmental education and communication in the form of advice and information; notes that the project will work across the Forth Valley to create inter-connected habitats for amphibians, reptiles and other wildlife to conserve and enhance the unique heritage of the area; recognises that the project will help to enable communities to develop connections with the Forth Valley’s natural heritage through planned activities, including wildlife gardening workshops, neighbourhood wildlife corridors and training courses; notes concerns from Froglife regarding the 68% decline in population of the common toad, which has led to this initiative being launched, and looks forward to Froglife's work benefiting Scotland's native wildlife and communities alike.
