Loch Abar Mòr was formed in 2023, based on a shared understanding that the health of our land and seas is inextricably linked to our own health and wellbeing. Loch Abar Mòr’s founding partners are stewards of more than 85,000 acres of land, encompassing tracts of ancient rainforest, vast peatlands and some of Scotland’s most spectacular mountain ranges, but this is also a landscape missing key native species, where many natural processes are interrupted or inhibited.

In response to Scotland's national and international commitments to both tackling climate change and reversing biodiversity loss, the Loch Abar Mòr partnership is focused on nature restoration at scale, reflecting growing local ambition to return more native wildlife to the Lochaber landscape, to revitalise and reconnect fragmented natural habitats, and to create new social and economic opportunities for the region’s communities.

Partnership is open to all organisations within the Lochaber region who are able to make a tangible contribution to the objectives of Loch Abar Mòr.
