Scotland's Environment Summary

Scotland's Environment: The Future - Proceedings of a One Day Conference at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on March 17 2000 by George Holmes (University of Oxford Oxford University University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford University of Oxford)

Scotland's countryside is one of her most precious assets, and today there is more widespread public awareness and concern about its quality and its future management than ever before. Here a group of distinguished speakers look back at changes in the environment and land use over the centuries, before looking in the 'crystal ball' to try and forecast where current events and trends are taking us. Their main purpose was to examine and consider what actions might be taken to ameliorate unwelcome trends and promote beneficial ones. The end product is an 'Agenda for Action' recommending the kinds of policies and practices that would be likely to enhance the environmental qualities most valued by society. This book summarises that 'Agenda' and the reasoning underlying it.
