Despite being one of Britain’s most biodiverse habitats, only around 30,000 hectares of Scotland’s rainforest remains.

A project to help restore Scotland’s “internationally significant” rainforest while supporting rural communities has received nearly £6 million in lottery funding.

Our Rainforest Futures will see “rainforest guardians” created across Scotland’s west coast, through hubs at Torridon and Morvern in the Highlands, and at mid-Argyll in Argyll and Bute.
