People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) has produced some guidance for those involved with designing Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) covering their key species and habitats.
LNRS are a key element of the Government’s commitment to addressing the biodiversity crisis in England and helping nature to recover. The 48 LNRS regions will produce locally developed plans to map and prioritise where nature can be restored, better managed and connected.
They provide the opportunity for responsible authorities to plan their conservation delivery priorities for many years to come. Done correctly, they will put wildlife at the core of decision making and help to restore thriving populations of threatened species and habitats. PTES’s guidance (Considering terrestrial mammals in Local Nature Recovery Strategies) is intended to ensure that the LNRSs deliver on their ambition for threatened mammals, by highlighting some of the key threats and potential conservation actions to protect them. They have also included species specific information sheets for their key species to provide further detail on effectively incorporating them into LNRSs.
This guidance can be used by responsible authorities to help them to properly consider terrestrial mammals in the LNRS, but also by anyone who wants to advocate for the wildlife in their area.
You can find more information and all of the guidance documents to download on the PTES website.
