By tackling these threats, we can better protect and enhance the natural habitats and ecosystems.

The natural environment of the National Park faces many threats, mostly resulting from human impacts or resulting pressures, but four environmental threats are considered to be the key pressures on the National Park’s biodiversity and natural capital.

4 Key Environmental Threats -

Poor quality of some lochs & rivers
Negative impacts on freshwater and marine water bodies from problems such as pollution from surrounding land uses.

Unsustainable levels of grazing
Unsustainable levels of wild and domesticated grazing and browsing animals in some upland and woodland areas, leading to reduced tree cover and the erosion of soils, which are important carbon stores.

Invasive, Non-Native Species
The spread of invasive non-native species, which displace our rich native wildlife.

Climate Change Pressures
The impacts of climate change leading to warmer, wetter weather patterns and a subsequent increase in flood events, major landslides and rapid shifts in natural
ecosystems.
