EFFORTS to counter “Tory attacks on nature” are to receive a new £2.9m package of funding measures, Scottish Green co-leader Lorna Slater has announced.
Slater, Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity, told day two of the party’s annual conference in Dundee that the new funding would be used to accelerate the government’s response to the issue.
She revealed that £1.3m would go towards plans for restoring Scotland’s under-threat Atlantic Rainforests.
