The UK has six statutory bodies involved in
nature and landscape conservation. Five have geographical remits
covering England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
JNCC, the sixth body, co-ordinates nature
conservation at a UK level, acting on behalf of the other agencies
to advise the UK Government on matters relating to nature
conservation nationally and internationally.
The new Co-ordinating conservation in
the UK leaflet produced by JNCC provides a
user-friendly guide for understanding the statutory bodies and
their individual roles.
It details:
- Responsibilities at a glance for the UK statutory
conservation bodies
- Roles of the organisations
- Full contact details for statutory bodies and
governments
