This report discusses the importance of nature in providing ecosystem services and presents recent and historical trends in biodiversity. It outlines some of the main pressures affecting England’s habitats, wildlife and ecosystems: land use; climate change; pollution; invasive non-native species; and hydrological change.
The report focuses on the opportunity we have to work with nature to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises in England, but refers to the UK or Great Britain where information for England is unavailable.
The Environment Agency have worked closely with the Forestry Commission and Natural England in producing this report. Nature is vital to and inseparable from all our work. Much is gained from our collaborative approach to addressing the interlinked biodiversity and climate crises, and this will continue to be the case as the challenges become increasingly urgent.
