THE Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA) has stated that the Scotland’s political system “marginalises” land managers by favouring scientific knowledge.
A parliamentary petition has been launched on behalf of the SGA that calls on the Scottish Government to “formally recognise local knowledge and ensure it is given full consideration alongside scientific knowledge”.
The SGA said that incorporating local knowledge into policy decisions could “help achieve targets and prevent mistakes which prove costly for species – and taxpayers”.
