It is hosted by BTCV and steered by FEVA. The project is progressing well, through a combination training, events, networking and mentoring. Dec-09 2009/10 RBGE Completed Green The John Hope Gateway was opened in late 2009. A Gateway Programme Planning Group, with representatives from RBGE, SNH, SEPA, the Macaulay, Rowett, Scottish Crops Research Institute, Moredun, Edinburgh University and Scottish Government, was established. A programme has been developed and this includes various biodiversity-related themes such as Darwin and evolution, climate change and phenology, and trees. There are also themes which focus on particular regions of Scotland, e.g. Orkney Spring 2010, and significant events such as Biodiversity Day/Week and the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin. Dec-09 2009/10 Business and Environ ment Partners hip Abandoned Red The Business Environment Partnership, the lead partner for this action, has run into funding difficulties and was unable to retain the project officer post which would have taken this action forward. As a result, this action was place on hold but subsequently, discussions have taken place with Scottish Enterprise and are still ongoing to find a way forward. 143

A sub-group of BSG met with the petitioners, National Biodiversity Network (NBN) and SNH staff, and other interested parties in a forum meeting on 22 January 2010. The group have considered the information provided in advance, on the day, and in a number of subsequent submissions in collating its report. This report made recommendations on work should happen together with an analysis of what issues were considered to arrive at these recommendations. The Minister's direction on which of these recommendations should be taken forward is currently awaited as at November 2010. Jun-08 2008/09 SNH Superseded Green This work has been superseded by the work of various organisations (SNH, VDS, BTCV, CSV, National Trust For Scotland, Scottish Wildlife Trust, etc) which promote volunteering opportunities. 144
