Scotland’s push towards net zero is fuelling a boom in nature-based employment, with roles in conservation, restoration and green health growing five times faster than other industries.

In the Cairngorms National Park, efforts to restore the environment are not only tackling climate change and enhancing biodiversity – they’re also revitalising the local job market and changing lives for the better.
