Go Wild Scotland is a new not-for-profit organisation promoting wildlife and ecotourism in and around the Scottish Borders. This is a region rich in iconic Scottish wildlife – red squirrels, otters, golden eagles, seals and ospreys, to name but a few. They are putting together a range of wildlife safaris around the region to showcase some of these creatures to help subsidise community wildlife projects. The project aims to have sessions with parents and their kids to get out and talk about wildlife.
The project aims:
- To inspire visitors about Scotland’s natural environment and to connect them with a trusted network of tourism businesses which uphold the highest standards.
- To provide our members with support so that they can create and deliver world-class nature-based experiences.
- To have Scotland recognised as one of Europe’s premier nature tourism destinations.
- In order to protect the natural environment where our members operate, Wild Scotland members are committed to working towards the following principles of sustainability:
- Minimising any negative impacts on local nature and culture.
- Promoting knowledge and respect for nature and communities and supporting local economies.
- Investing in enhancing Scotland’s natural heritage and improving environmental performance.
