SCOTLAND has failed to meet international targets to prevent wildlife from becoming extinct by 2020 - despite ministers insisting last year they were on track, the Herald can reveal. An analysis by Scotland s countryside agency, NatureScot, seen by the Herald reveals that efforts to protect endangered animals and plants were “insufficient” to meet 11 of 20 agreed United Nations (UN) targets by 2020.

The Scottish Government had required a full assessment on performance in meeting the targets by the end of 2020. It has yet to be published.
