Working together, the North East Scotland Biodiversity Partnership helps protect nature and biodiversity.
Find out about the amazing species that can be found here, how you can get involved, the latest biodiversity news and inspiring local projects from the North East.
Taking Action for Biodiversity
Following the recommendations in the report ‘Biodiversity: The UK Action Plan’, the North East Scotland Biodiversity Partnership was established with members drawn from local government, environmental organisations, wildlife charities and hosted by what is now the James Hutton Institute.
The NESBiP Big 5
In 2013, NatureScot and Visit Scotland launched Scotland’s Big 5. NESBiP closely followed suit and launched the North East Big 5. The campaign was a great success, with communities joining together to protect them. In 2025, we revisited the list and launched the NESBiP Big 5. Discover how to protect them.
Wildlife Gardening
Learn how to help your local wildlife from the comfort of your own home. With over 15 million gardens in Britain, covering an area larger than all our national nature reserves put together, what we choose to do with our gardens really does matter for nature.
