The Living Landscapes Project: landscape character and biodiversity: Final report (ENRR475)

The Living Landscapes Project was undertaken at a time of increasing awareness of landscape issues in English Nature and a realisation that new approaches needed to be taken to deliver BAP outside designated sites and to support designated sites and their species within a less hostile landscape. The need to work on a landscape scale was clearly demonstrated in the Governments Farmland Birds Public Service Agreement target to halt the decline in common bird species.
