Biodiversity Conservation Management and Improvement

How important is it that I manage my land for biodiversity conservation?
Biodiversity conservation not only depends upon the protection of important habitats and species, but also requires the positive management of their environment to maintain favourable conditions for their continuation.

Text Box: “Ensuring that future generations can enjoy England’s rich geology, landscapes and biodiversity, means we must significantly improve the protection and management of what we have today. Improving the conditions of the natural environment is required to ensure that everyone benefits from the services it provides”. Natural England (Strategic Direction, 2006-09)

Furthermore, biodiversity conservation increasingly requires the restoration of degraded habitats or the creation of new habitats and networks of habitats to maintain viable communities and facilitate colonisation and dispersal.
