English Nature is the statutory body that champions the conservation and enhancement of the wildlife and natural features of England. We work for wildlife in partnership with others, by:
advising - Government, other agencies, local authorities, interest groups, business, communities, individuals on nature conservation in England;
regulating - activities affecting the special nature conservation sites in England;
enabling - others to manage land for nature conservation, through grants, projects and information;
enthusing - and advocating nature conservation for all and biodiversity as a key test of sustainable development.
We have statutory responsibilities for nationally-important nature conservation sites: Sites of Special Scientific Interest, the most important of which are managed as National Nature Reserves; Special Areas of Conservation (SACs); and Special Protection Areas (SPAs).
Through the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, English Nature works with sister organisations in Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland to advise Government on UK and international nature conservation issues
