How Protected Landscapes can be enabled to provide the strong backbone needed for nature recovery
This briefing paper models the costs of delivering the Protected Landscapes' contribution to England’s commitment to protect 30% of land for nature by 2030 (30by30). It looks at different levels of ambition and considers what would be needed for between 30% and 50% of Protected Landscape area to meet Defra’s 30by30 criteria.
Appendices I-V are in the body of the briefing.
