Overview
As a key element to the delivery of the Nature Networks Programme, the
aim of the Nature Networks Fund is to improve the condition and resilience
of Wales’ network of protected land and marine sites.
Improving the
condition of these protected and connected sites will enable them to function
better as nature networks. Nature networks
are vital, resilient areas where habitats and species can thrive and expand.
Restoring connectivity in these networks will:
- prevent
further declines in species and habitat condition
- support
nature recovery
- enhance
capacity to adapt to the climate crisis
This fund will also
support the active involvement of communities in and around protected sites.
Strengthening engagement with nature has direct health and wellbeing benefits
for people, as well as improving the resilience of the sites themselves.
