A Joint Statement on Improving the Approach to Protected Areas in the UK 2024

Abstract

JNCC, Natural England, Natural Resources Wales, NatureScot and Northern Ireland Environment Agency are putting substantial effort into considering how Protected Areas can be more effective in addressing the biodiversity and climate crises. Whilst nature conservation policy in the UK is devolved – with the different nations tailoring their approaches to meet their priorities – the nature conservation agencies across the UK are keen to articulate their shared thinking and take joint action where more impactful. Building on the recommendations made in the Nature Positive publication, the purpose of this Joint Statement is to set out their shared understanding of the principles for an improved Protected Areas network across the UK and to summarise the direction that all nations of the UK wish to take in this area.
