Dear Scottish Natural Heritage,

1-Can you tell me the total number of plant and animal species that you know that are present on the Scottish mainland and within all waters seprated by habitat ?

2-Can you display all of the above data since earliest records began till present seperated by decade ?

3-Can you tell me if plant and animal species when added together have been increasing, decreasing or declining in Scotland since records began ?

Yours faithfully,

Mr David Tait
