The Greater London Authority (GLA) is asking Londoners for their views on the Draft London Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
Over the past few years, GiGL has been supporting the GLA in delivering this strategy. Our work has included mapping, incorporating updates, and designing the interactive map. The LNRS is a new spatial tool for London’s nature and is one of 48 new strategies across England that aim to reverse biodiversity loss. It sets out which parts of our city’s nature require the most urgent attention, how to help them recover, and where resources could have the greatest impact.
Successful nature recovery depends on collective action, so this strategy has been developed through close collaboration with technical specialists, community groups, boroughs and Londoners. It’s designed to be a shared tool – that anyone can use to inform the way they use, manage, improve and develop land in London.
A public consultation on the draft strategy launched on Tuesday 30 September and will run until Wednesday 29 October. You can access all the information you need and feedback forms here: Have Your Say Today – London LNRS – Commonplace. Hard copies of the Statement of Biodiversity Priorities are also available to view at various locations across London. You can see a list and map of where you can find a hard copy here: London LNRS | Commonplace
The GLA have hosted webinars and drop-in sessions for anyone to ask questions or get help navigating the draft LNRS. These can be watched via the GLA’s Events webpage.
Your feedback will help to make sure that the strategy captures the most important priorities for nature in London.
