Natural Environment

Protecting and conserving the environment so that it thrives with our presence

Our target: Yet to be defined

In order for us to be able to monitor the health of our natural environment, we need to acquire a relevant dataset that has the following parameters:

• Broken down into local authority area
• Covers the whole West Midlands region (32 local authorities)
• Is updated annually
• Has been collected since at the latest 2019, and ideally since 2010
• Is publicly accessible
• Comes from a credible source (e.g. central Government department)

We are working with organisations such as the Environment Agency, Defra and the Wildlife Trusts so that we can identify a suitable dataset for monitoring purposes against which we can then establish a credible 2030 target, in line with relevant overarching strategies such as the emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategies and Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan 2023. If you think you can help us, please get in touch.
