The final part of the LNRS development is the production of the maps to identify “areas that could become of importance for biodiversity” – in essence, maps that show opportunity for nature recovery to be focused or expanded on.
It is these maps that will be used to target action and investment to where it will deliver the greatest gains for nature recovery and wider environmental benefits. The maps will also help land use planning to direct harmful impacts away from our most valuable assets.
These September workshops will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to review the initial draft maps, and input their local knowledge and expertise to help refine them, to ensure they really do support efforts to recover nature. To see a full programme of the day, click the link below:
