State of the Natural Environment
Investing in the natural environment is important for its own sake and also because of the contribution it makes to our economy and quality of life. In the East of England, we believe the natural environment has a particular contribution to make in a variety of ways: to the rural economy; to tourism; by building distinctive places where people will want to live and work; by making a contribution to positive health outcomes; and finally, by helping the region adapt to climate change. See the State of the Natural Environment regional East of England pages.
Defra Statutory Guidance for Natural England on Regional Planning and Associated Matters
In 2008 Natural England will be working with a wide range of partners and stakeholders on regional plans, strategies and frameworks, see the East of England Regional Schedule.
Climate change project

White-tailed eagle potential reintroduction project

Great Fen Project
