Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will outline any wetlands that have been considered for designation as a Ramsar site but were not granted this classification in each year since 2007.
Answer
All wetlands considered for Ramsar designation since 2007 have been granted this classification. A decision on an extension to the existing Caithness & Sutherland Peatlands Ramsar site to include areas of former plantation forestry that have been restored to blanket bog will be made later this year.
