Pleased to be involved in this project led by our @HuttonSEGS colleagues. New blog at islandsrevival.org will focus on places where positive population change is occurring - please get in touch if you would like to contribute @islandsrevival @SEFARIscot #leadingideas
The Scottish islands are often regarded as places where population is in decline, but recent anecdotal evidence suggests that in some cases the tide may be turning. Scientists @HuttonSEGS & partners are looking to document these 'green shoots' of recovery: bit.ly/2WyhA3t
This would be funny if it wasn’t so scary.
