Protection and designation
England's natural environment is unique and makes a major contribution to national and regional character.
Our geology, soils, landscapes and their biodiversity along with our marine and coastal ecosystems are a rich inheritance.
There are a wide range of national and international statutory designations protecting England’s natural environment.
