Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has developed a draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for the Liverpool City Region.
Local nature recovery strategies are ambitious, England-wide spatial strategies, designed to support the restoration and enhancement of nature. The strategy outlines our most valuable existing habitats and presents priorities for reversing the decline in biodiversity. It also maps potential opportunities for nature recovery and wider environmental goals in the places where they could have the biggest impact. However, it does not mean that this land will be protected or prevent other forms of land use.
The UK has lost nearly 50% of its biodiversity, placing it in the top 10% most nature depleted countries in the world. Nature provides a range of benefits to the people of our region. Nature-based solutions can improve our air and water quality, help us to achieve Net Zero, build resilience to climate change and provide access to thriving green spaces.
We have reached a crucial stage in the development of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy, and we want to hear from you. No matter your background, your voice is crucial. By sharing your views, you can help influence the final strategy and shape potential nature improvements in the Liverpool City Region.
The public consultation is live until the 30th of March 2025 and we would love you to take part. For any other enquiries contact lnrs@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk.
