Abstract
In preparation for Scotland's Biodiversity Strategy this document deals with identifying the starting point and priorities for action. It defines the present status of biodiversity in terms of habitats, species and genetic resources. Also looks at explaining some the most prominent and relatively recent changes in biodiversity. It examines trends, looks more closely at reported trends in priority habitats and species, and considers the key influences that have an impact on biodiversity in Scotland.
