In 2019 the Group worked hand in glove with Link’s 25 Year Plan Group on biodiversity gain and conservation covenants (see 25 Year Plan section for more).
In May 2019 we published a position outlining the principles we feel would be needed to help make the Government’s planned biodiversity gain (“net gain” as the Government termed the policy at the time) policy successful. Then in October we published a more detailed paper on how this complex policy might be made to work “on the ground”. We continue to brief officials on biodiversity gain policy, which we expect to figure in the returned environment bill in early 2020.
The Group published a Link policy position on the 25 Year Plan’s promised “Nature Recovery Networks”; a potentially vital part of forthcoming efforts to reverse the decline in nature and the wider environment.
