Local Nature Partnerships (England)

Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) are a key Environment White Paper commitment. There are forty eight strategic partnerships consisting of a wide range of local organisations with members drawn from environmental, business, health, academic and land owning sectors providing almost total geographic coverage in England. Government was not prescriptive about LNP boundaries were defined. LNPs were encouraged to establish the most appropriate boundary for their area, whether ecological, administrative or a mixture of both. The majority of partnerships established themselves along administrative local authority boundaries with a number determined by a mix of of landscape level features and administrative boundaries and relatively few determined by ecological characteristics.LNPs work strategically to help their local area manage the natural environment. They aim to make sure that its value, and the value of the services it provides to the economy and the people who live there, is taken into account in local decisions, for example about planning and development.LNPs are also being encouraged to work at a large scale, which we call ‘landscape-scale’, and to identify Nature Improvement Areas using these criteria, found at this location (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criteria-to-apply-when-identifying-nature-improvement-area) Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

地方自然环境合作伙伴关系（LNPs）系环境白皮书中的重要承诺。此项目由四十八个战略合作伙伴组成，涵盖环保、商业、健康、学术和土地所有权等多个领域的各类地方组织，其成员遍布英格兰，实现了几乎全面的地理覆盖。政府在划定LNP边界方面并未制定强制性规定。LNP被鼓励根据其所在区域的实际情况，确立最适宜的边界，无论是生态的、行政的，抑或是两者的结合。大多数合作伙伴选择在行政地方当局的边界基础上建立自身，其中部分由景观层面的特征与行政边界共同决定，而少数则由生态特性所决定。LNPs致力于战略性地协助其所在地区管理自然环境。他们力求确保当地决策，如规划与发展等方面，充分考虑自然环境及其对经济及居住人群所提供的价值。此外，LNP还被鼓励在大规模范围内进行工作，我们称之为‘景观尺度’，并依据以下标准（https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criteria-to-apply-when-identifying-nature-improvement-area）来识别自然改善区域。版权声明：© 自然英格兰版权所有。包含皇家测量局数据©皇家版权和数据库权利[年份]。
