England’s new £30 million Wildlife-Rich Habitat Fund is another positive signal for landscape-scale nature recovery.
The fund will support nature restoration and the creation of thousands of hectares of new habitat across England’s National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads over three years, helping to reverse habitat degradation and support long-term species recovery.
With habitat degradation contributing to declines in species such as hedgehogs, water voles and birds including the curlew and turtle dove, this funding aims to revitalise natural landscapes and support threatened species.
We welcome the announcement and hope it encourages others to invest in high-quality, evidence-led nature restoration that delivers lasting benefits for wildlife, landscapes and local communities.
