Here in northern Devon, our economy, quality of life and ability to address climate change all depend on a nature-rich environment.  Yet, our wildlife is a shadow of its former glory. Nature has been corralled into smaller and smaller fragments of suitable habitat as land use has intensified. Many key species are in severe long-term decline or have already been lost. We must help nature to recover before it’s too late. It is possible with transformative local action, but it’s vital we act now.

That’s why the North Devon Biosphere Partnership has launched an ambitious Nature Recovery Plan (visit https://www.northdevonbiosphere.org.uk/nature-recovery-plan.html to read it and provide your comments). With ever greater public interest in the environment and changing priorities for land management, this is a time of opportunity. Please help us to make it happen.
