This new framework has been developed by Natural England and Defra to enhance the recovery of priority species and habitats and to contribute to delivery of the England Biodiversity Strategy.
The aims of the framework:
Encourage adoption of an ecosystem approach and better embed climate change adaptation on principles on conservation action
Achieve biodiversity enhancements across whole landscapes and seascapes
Achieve our priority habitat targets through greater collective emphasis on habitat restoration and expansion
Enhance the recovery of priority species by better integrating their needs into habitat based work where possible and through targeted species recovery work where necessary
Support the restoration of designated sites including by enhancing the wider countryside in which they sit
Establish and implement a delivery programme with agreed accountabilities for priority species and habitats in England
Improve the integration of national, regional and local levels of delivery
Improve the links between relevant policy makers and conservation practitioners
Strengthen biodiversity partnerships by clarifying roles at England, regional and local levels
