A Natural Partnership
Become a Natural Partner
The fifteen UK National Parks cover c.10% of the land of Great Britain and are enjoyed by millions every year – the nature in National Parks play a huge role in enhancing local biodiversity, supporting national ecosystems, and contributing to the global climate solution.
To protect and restore all this, we need to take urgent action. National Parks teams, together with local partners, have planned a range of projects that will help habitats to recover and flourish. Boosting biodiversity, enhancing our well-being and increasing climate resilience.
The need to restore nature is urgent – the UK is one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries in the world, in the bottom 10% globally*. UK woodland cover is just 13% (2022) and 38% of UK species are declining in abundance**. Nature needs to be preserved not only for its beauty but the vital ecosystems services it provides – from carbon removal, to pollination, water cleansing and flood prevention. National Parks are ideally placed to turn the tide.
