Commenting on the publication of the Scottish Government Wildlife and Natural Environment Bill, Liberal Democrat Environment spokesperson Liam McArthur MSP said:
"The intentions behind this Bill are sound. There is no doubt that it could make a positive impact in a wide range of areas.
"Nevertheless, it is already clear that Ministers will be under intense pressure to extend and toughen up a number of the Bill's provisions.
"It is important therefore that the Government works closely with stakeholders and MSPs across parliament to ensure the legislation delivers real benefits for Scotland's world class natural environment.
