Nearly 20,000 hectares of natural habitat
– the equivalent of almost 23,000 football pitches – has been created, restored
or preserved across England
Published today, the ‘Monitoring and
Evaluation of Nature Improvement Areas: Final Report’ showcases the
achievements of the 12 Nature Improvement Areas – established in 2012 with
funding from Defra – in helping protect wildlife and connect people
with nature, while providing a boost to rural economies.
From the vast green plains of the
Humberhead Levels to the glacial landscapes of the Meres and Mosses wetlands
and the urban backdrop of the Greater Thames Marshes, the three-year initiative
saw local authorities, communities, conservation groups and the private sector
come together to change and improve local areas in both rural and urban
locations. This unique partnership approach means these natural spaces now not
only provide a sanctuary for wildlife to thrive, but also ensure people can
enjoy them for generations to come.
