What does the LNRS look like?
The LNRS consists of two primary, interactive elements that must be used together:
- The Statement of Biodiversity Priorities: * A written document with eight habitat or species-themed chapters.
- It outlines key habitats/species in Cumbria, describes pressures and threats, and sets out a "vision" for recovery.
- It identifies priorities (what we want to achieve in 3–10 years) and potential measures (actions to achieve those priorities).
- The Local Habitat Map:
- An interactive map identifying where actions will have the most positive impact.
- It maps Existing wildlife-rich habitats for enhancement and Areas of Particular Importance.
- It highlights "Nature Recovery Networks"—areas where restoring or creating habitats will make them more connected.
The habitats, priorities, and measures identified in the document will be represented spatially on the map showing what could be done and where.
