 We are lucky in Lancashire to have a diverse and spectacular environment and landscape, stretching from the uplands to the coast, including areas designated for their national and international importance for biodiversity.
However, reflecting global and national trends, Lancashire's biodiversity has been declining. We want to halt this decline and, in time, reverse biodiversity loss. We want to enhance and restore our best nature-rich sites e.g., Special Protection Areas (SPAs), Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and Biological Heritage Sites (BHS), create new sites where there is opportunity to do so, and provide better access to natural environments that everyone can enjoy. This is the first nature recovery strategy for Lancashire. It recognises the challenges we face in reversing this decline, but also the great opportunities we have to help nature recover, as well as the benefits of taking action, not only for our important landscapes, habitats and species, but for the people of Lancashire.  We are encouraging local businesses and organisations to THINK CARER.
The 2021 Census found that 2.8 million people are juggling work and care across the UK, while Carers UK found that, on average, 600 people per DAY quit work because of a lack of support to juggle work and care. |
