We live in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. UK National Parks have the potential to thrive with nature, and while there are pockets that are, there’s a long way to go to ensure widespread biodiversity. It’s imperative that purpose-led businesses urgently invest in long-term nature solutions.

The role of National Parks

National Parks play a huge role in restoring local biodiversity, supporting national ecosystems, and contributing to climate solutions. They don’t just support nature, they sustain communities that live and work in the landscape. And what’s more, we have fifteen in the UK – occupying 10% of the land mass of Great Britain. From the uplands of Exmoor to the mountains of Eryri, the rolling hills of South Downs to the world-renowned lochs in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs.

England’s 10 National Parks have developed a Nature Recovery Vision:

National Parks sit at the heart of the nation’s nature recovery network; we are places where wildlife flourishes, habitats are maintained, restored, and expanded, and where everyone can experience nature and wildlife at their best. Strong local partnerships in each National Park will deliver 20% of the government’s nature recovery target on 10% of the land, saving/sequestering 330,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
