New booklet describes who does what in nature and landscape
conservation in the UK
Within each country of the UK there are separate statutory
bodies responsible for nature and landscape conservation.
These are the Countryside Council for Wales, Natural England,
Scottish Natural Heritage, and, in Northern Ireland, the
Environment and Heritage Service as advised by the Council for
Nature Conservation and the Countryside.
These bodies are funded by
Government and provide independent advice on policy development and
implementation to the UK Government and devolved Governments. The
Joint Nature Conservation Committee coordinates nature conservation
at a UK level and advises UK Government on scientific and policy
matters relating to nature conservation internationally.
Working together for
nature and landscape conservation in the UK and beyond is
written with a European audience in mind, and promotes the role of
the UK Nature and Landscape Office in Brussels, which acts to raise
the profile of these bodies and enhance their advice. It also
includes full contact details for all our statutory bodies and
governments.
