Background to Sir John Lawton:

Professor Sir John Lawton chaired the independent review of England’s wildlife sites and ecological network. This considered whether England’s collection of wildlife areas represented a coherent and robust ecological network that would be capable of responding to the challenges of climate change and other pressures. Published in September 2010, the 'Making Space for Nature' review summarised what needed to be done in four words: more, bigger, better and joined, and set out some guiding principles and 24 recommendations. The Government’s broad response to the review was set out in the Natural Environment White Paper and includes the creation of Nature Improvement Areas and Local Nature Partnerships
