Nature of Scotland Awards 2013
The Nature of Scotland Awards aim to recognise and celebrate excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement in Scottish nature conservation. This is the second year of the awards which are supported by the James Hutton Institute.
Scotland is renowned worldwide for its beautiful wild places and abundant wildlife and we must work hard to preserve this precious natural heritage, celebrating success stories and protecting that which is under real threat.
There were more than 70 entries to this year's awards and the shortlist was announced in June. The winners of the eight categories will be announced at a special ceremony in Edinburgh on 30 October.
