South West Nature Map identifies the best areas in our region to conserve, create and connect wildlife habitats at a landscape scale.

The South West Nature Map shows the best areas, ‘Strategic Nature Areas’, to maintain and expand terrestrial wildlife habitats at a landscape scale. It is important to stress that land outside of the Nature Map areas also contains wildlife sites and species that are important in their own right. There are many different tools and mechanisms in place that contribute to Strategic Nature Area conservation, and Nature Map is a significant addition to the wider strategy for biodiversity conservation in the region.
