English Nature
English Nature
is the
United Kingdom
Government Agency that promotes the
conservation
of
wildlife
,
geology
and wild places throughout
England
. It was set up by an
Act of Parliament
, the
Environmental Protection Act
of
1990
. It is part of
DEFRA
, the
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
, and gives statutory advice, grants and licences. English Nature is governed by a council and employs about 700 people. It works close with the
Joint Nature Conservation Committee
and the equivalent bodies for Scotland (
Scottish Natural Heritage
),
Wales
(
Countryside Council for Wales
) and
Northern Ireland
(
Environment and Heritage Service
) to bring a consistent approach to
nature conservation
throughout
Britain
and towards fulfilling its international obligations. Following a review by Lord Haskins English Nature is shortly to be intergrated with parts of both the
Rural Development Service
and the
Countryside Agency
to form
Natural England
.
