Launched in 2024, Loch Abar Mòr is a nature restoration partnership working at scale, to enable communities across Lochaber to thrive in an ecologically diverse and climate resilient landscape. 

The partnership brings together land managers, communities and businesses, who share an ambition to restore and reconnect a thriving network of natural habitats, to return more wildlife to the landscape, and to create new social and economic opportunities for the region’s communities.

Our vision

Over the next 50 years, the Loch Abar Mòr partnership will create a rich mosaic of habitats alive with nature, weaving across boundaries, in which people work and live with a sense of pride and belonging. 

By 2075, people in the region will have an increased connection with nature, promoting a sense of wellbeing and stewardship. There will be more nature-based jobs and more learning and recreational opportunities. 

By 2075, a more dynamic, interconnected mosaic of habitats, shaped by natural processes, will support a greater diversity and abundance of life.

By 2075, a more complex and resilient landscape will regulate the carbon cycle, improving air and water quality, and reducing the impact of climate change.
