Loch Druidibeag is a freshwater loch situated on the island of South Uist, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The loch is near the northern end of the island, to the north-east of Howmore and to the east of the A865 road and south of the B890. The loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Ramsar site, and forms part of the South Uist Machair Special Area of Conservation and the South Uist Machair and Lochs Special Protection Area.[1] Loch Druidibeg was designated as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), but was de-declared in 2012.[2] The loch was also formerly a biosphere reserve, being so-designated in 1976, but this status was withdrawn in 2013.[3] The local planning authority is Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. Ecology and managementLoch Druidibeg exhibits a cross-section of habitats from alkaline machair grassland through oligotrophic loch to acidic moorland. This highly diverse range of habitats is variously influenced by the oceanic exposure with high levels of salt spray and humidity, and the influence of settled agriculture on which the species-rich machair grassland depends. The loch is managed for strict conservation purposes, however traditional cultivation and cattle grazing practices are encouraged as an integral part of management for biodiversity. Numerous cooperative projects between conservation agencies and the local community in the Uists are carried out. Although no special research and education facilities are available, the biosphere reserve is frequently used for scientific and conservation-orientated research as well as for environmental education of schoolchildren. OwnershipThe area, in total, is {{Convert|1677|ha}}. {{Convert|1043|ha}} of freshwater and moorland, with some croftland, was owned by Scottish Natural Heritage (bought in 1958); {{Convert|643|ha}} acquired in 1962 under a management agreement with the owners South Uist Estates and the crofters occupying and managing the croftland/grazings. In 2018 the SNH land was transferred to the local community-owned company Storas Uibhist.[4] There are buffer zones extending {{Convert|10|mi}} to {{Convert|15|mi}} north and south of the zone, under similar schemes.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}} Sources{{free-content attribution| author = UNESCO | title = UNESCO - MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory | publisher = UNESCO | documentURL = http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=all&code=UKM+07 | License statement URL = http://www.unesco.org/new/en/natural-sciences/environment/ecological-sciences/biosphere-reserves/world-network-wnbr/wnbr/ | licence = CC BY-SA IGO 3.0 }} References{{commons category|Loch Druidibeag}}
