from Dr Iain Boulton, Lambeth Biodiversity Forum
Help identify nature sites or areas in London where resources, including funding, should be directed. Advise what sites and habitats can help nature both recover and survive.
LNRS Interactive Map (arcgis.com)
This interactive map is open to all organisations and individuals across London.
The map is open until Wednesday 2nd October 2024.
The Greater London Authority will use the map, with other inputs, to set out the priorities for London’s nature in the London Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). The Draft London LNRS will be published for public consultation in Spring 2025.
A LNRS is a plan to help restore, rehabilitate, or extend biodiversity in a specific region of the UK, helping to identify sites or areas within that region where present and future resources, including funding, should be directed and on what sites and habitats to help nature both recover and survive. Key to any LNRS is a map and list of sites within that region where resources will be allocated and invested and to what outcomes for nature.
Lambeth’s SINCs (Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation) and Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are already mapped so there’s no need to add these – it’s any additional sites or areas that need to be proposed and added.
