Investing: invest in habitat restoration across our protected areas and beyond.Extending and creating: designate new protected areas and restore or create wildlife rich habitat outside of these.Strengthening: ensure effective policy and statutory safeguards and powers are in place to improve management for nature, prevent degradation and ensure appropriate access for people.The Environmental Improvement Plan 2023 (EIP23) set out how we will deliver 30b圓0 on land in England by: We also recognise the importance of ensuring delivery of wider priorities including food production, and that some areas are unlikely to be suitable for 30b圓0, including highly productive land such as Best and Most Versatile ( BMV) land. In line with the global target, 30b圓0 in England should primarily focus on our most important areas for biodiversity. This will also help to ensure that everyone can enjoy these treasures for generations to come. How we will achieve itĭelivering this commitment for England will ensure our most important places, at the core of nature’s recovery, have the long-term protection and favourable management needed for biodiversity to thrive. We will be engaging with landowners, land managers, and wider partners to understand how we can work together to deliver this important target. That is why we will be opting for a bottom-up approach. This will require a collaborative, cross-sector approach, and everyone has an important role to play. Achieving this ambitious commitment presents an important opportunity to continue the UK’s international leadership on nature protection. Landowners or land managers will be able to withdraw their contribution at any point if they wish.ģ0b圓0 should be a collaborative, voluntary effort, led by those who are driving nature’s recovery on the ground. Whilst any existing designation requirements (including nature or heritage designations) will continue to apply, new 30b圓0 contributions do not represent any new management requirements or designation.

Contributing to the 30b圓0 target simply recognises where an area is already being effectively protected and managed for biodiversity conservation. New contributions to the 30b圓0 target will be made on a voluntary basis, and there is no obligation on landowners or land managers to participate. Biodiversity policy is devolved in the UK, and therefore Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will set out their approaches to delivering this target separately. This document sets out our approach to delivering 30b圓0 on land in England. Thanks to UK leadership, a global 30b圓0 target was adopted at the UN Biodiversity Summit COP15 in December 2022, as part of an ambitious Global Biodiversity Framework. In 2020, the government committed to protecting 30% of the UK’s land by 2030 (30b圓0).
