A plan to help the Island's nature and wildlife "recover and thrive" has been made by the Isle of Wight Council.

The local authority wants to address the UK-wide fall in biodiversity and habitat over the past 25 years, including threats to common species like starlings, sparrows, frogs, and slow worms.

Created with the help of Arc Biodiversity and Climate, a local group, as part of a national project led by DEFRA and Natural England, the project, called Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS), is required by the Environment Act 2021 and aims to restore habitats, protect species, and boost biodiversity.
