Argyll and Bute’s John Aitchison Receives Disney Conservation Hero Medal

  • Submitted by: Jenni Minto, Argyll and Bute, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 02 September 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-05809

That the Parliament congratulates John Aitchison of Lochgilphead on his receipt of a Disney Conservation Hero Medal; understands that these medals are awarded in recognition of efforts to protect the planet; further understands that this award has been well-earned as a result of John's voluntary work with the Coastal Communities Network Aquaculture Forum and as co-founder of the Friends of the Sound of Jura in preserving and enhancing the natural biodiversity whilst ensuring local communities are involved in decision making; notes that John's outstanding work has helped to achieve a Mission Blue “Hope Spot” designation for the Argyll Coast and Islands, which it understands is the first of its kind in Scotland and mainland UK, and wishes John continued success in his efforts to protect the natural environment in Scotland.
