Why are National Nature Reserves special?
A Scotlands NNRs are world class sites for nature which help safeguard an incredible variety of animals, plants, geological features and landscapes. NNRs offer superb opportunities for people to get close to, enjoy, and learn more about Scotlands nature. Through careful management of the land, NNRs help protect rare and often fragile wildlife species and habitats that are internationally important. Research work on NNRs also allows us to better understand the natural environment and develop new knowledge and skills to improve our management of wildlife habitats.
