That the Parliament notes that 2 February 2026 marks the 30th annual World Wetlands Day, with this year’s theme being "Wetlands and Traditional Knowledge: Celebrating Cultural Heritage"; appreciates that it has been 55 years since the adoption of the Ramsar Convention; celebrates Scotland’s wetlands as important sites for biodiversity that provide unique and productive habitats to a range of rare, threatened and declining species of plants, mammals, birds, fish and invertebrates; welcomes the carbon storing capability of wetlands, which, it understands, can act as a frontline defence against the climate crisis; highlights that wetlands provide a host of essential ecosystem services to society, including filtering drinking water and mitigating flood risks; understands that 51 wetland sites across Scotland are designated under the Ramsar Convention, including Insh Marshes, Nigg and Udale, Coul Links and Forsinard Flows in the Highlands and Islands region, and welcomes the commitment of the Scottish Government to protect at least 30% of Scotland’s land and sea for nature by 2030, in addition to restoring the appropriate level of protection to those of Scotland’s wetlands that are Ramsar sites.

That the Parliament congratulates the Kirkcaldy man, Callum Laing, on his incredible fundraising efforts of £8,363.52 for the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh; commends Callum for achieving this while in hospital recovering from a brain abscess; understands that Callum launched a JustGiving page during his treatment and then organised a fundraising event in his home town; believes that the funds raised will go towards creating a more welcoming environment for patients recovering from neurological surgery; notes that finding a dedicated space in hospital areas can sometimes be a challenge; further notes that there are plans afoot to improve the communal areas to enable patients to take a relaxing and comfortable break away from their bedrooms, and wishes Callum all the very best for his continued recovery.

That the Parliament commends the Scottish Retail Consortium and its sister organisation, the British Retail Consortium, on the launch of Nature Positive Plan, Planning for Nature, which is aimed at helping retailers accelerate nature-positive action and halt and reverse biodiversity loss across their value chains; understands that this follows the 2024 Plan for Nature and the 2025 Planning for Nature Progress Report, which sought to stimulate industry-wide action on nature and biodiversity loss and measure progress, including through standardised metrics and improved supplier engagement; recognises the important role that it believes retail can play in addressing nature loss alongside climate change, while continuing to meet existing sustainability commitments; welcomes the practical roadmap and ongoing support and advice for shopkeepers that the plan provides to accelerate nature-positive action, including benchmarks to support transparency and progress across the sector and alignment with existing environmental strategies and sustainability reporting requirements, with the aim to ultimately improve their longer-term commercial resilience and success, and encourages policymakers and stakeholders to work collaboratively with the retail industry to support the delivery of a nature-positive economy, which it considers can  benefit communities, supply chains and the natural environment.
