Environmentally Sensitive Areas (England)

The Environmentally Sensitive Areas were introduced in 1987 to offer incentives to encourage farmers to adopt agricultural practices which would safeguard and enhance parts of the country of particularly high landscape, wildlife or historic value. The scheme has now closed to new applicants. Defra introduced a new Environmental Stewardship Scheme on 3 March 2005 which supersedes (with enhancements) the Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Countryside Stewardship Schemes. There are 22 ESAs in England, covering some 10% of agricultural land. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right [year].

环境敏感区域政策于1987年推出，旨在提供激励措施，鼓励农民采纳能够保护并提升我国具有特别高景观、野生动植物或历史价值的地区农业实践的农业技术。该计划现已对新的申请人关闭。英国环境、食品与乡村事务部（Defra）于2005年3月3日引入了新的环境管家计划，该计划在增强原有环境敏感区域和乡村管家计划的基础上，取代了旧有的政策。英格兰共有22个环境敏感区域，覆盖了大约10%的农业用地。归属声明：© 自然英格兰版权。包含军事情报图数据©英国王室版权和数据库权利[年份]。
