National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and landscape scale projects throughout the UK are increasingly considering how they can contribute to nature recovery. Following Government commitments to 30% of our land to be designated for nature recovery by 2030, new strategies and ambition have been injected into programmes that work with landowners, build partnerships across large areas, reintroduce species, restore and expand key habitats, argue for resources, enhance the rural economy and engage local communities and visitors in our future nature. Leadership may involve developing exemplar and best practices that can provide a much-needed core of land for nature that inspires and integrates within and beyond protected landscapes.
CNPPA and event partners organised a public webinar and online conference to explore how best to bring about nature recovery in protected landscapes. Over 70 conference participants shared their experience, knowledge and explored the issues together across over 20 themes. The results have been better networks, new ideas and enhanced motivation to move forward. A report will be produced soon to inform policy and decision makers.
