- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 18 November 2020
As an amendment to motion S5M-23383 in the name of Mark Ruskell (Declaration of a Nature Emergency), leave out from "calls for an end" to end and insert "; considers that the nature emergency extends across every part of Scotland; calls for legislation for the immediate introduction of licensing for grouse moor management ensuring that all practices are sustainable and fully compatible with the declarations of climate and nature emergencies; further calls for the phasing out of large-scale peat extraction and for long-term funding security for peatland restoration projects; recalls amendment S5M-13876.2 on 13 September 2018 regarding salmon farming and the Parliament agreeing 'that the regulatory status quo is not an option'; urges the Scottish Government to address urgently the continued concerns in this regard in the interests of maintaining Scotland's reputation for high-welfare and quality produce; considers that EU biodiversity and environmental funding must be replaced, and believes that the Scottish Government's UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Continuity) (Scotland) Bill in its current form will be insufficient in ensuring accountability around Scotland keeping pace with heightened EU nature protections."
