This is bigger than just SSSI. We need to know feature distribution and condition at landscape scales. We have tools to support this. We must use these to understand the effectiveness of past actions and set new objectives which allow adaptation to a warmer world.

Nice. The last two points are the most significant I think.’empirical work on trophic rewilding’ ‘via large, well-designed experiments’ And study of ‘trophic rewilding in context of novel ecosystems due to anthropogenic climate change’ ‘species introductions’ & ‘human environmental transformations’

Developing habitat patches in farmed landscapes is so crucial to increasing and sustaining biodiversity. Creating OECM/Sotoyama Landscape approaches to 30x30 relies on them. www.cbd.int/sustainable/...

As I often tell my team. I’ll never forget all the colouring in we did on A0 sheets at the Manor Gatehouse in Dartford! GIS is a wonderful thing!

These need redrafting for UK CAT5. Philosophically useful in understanding areas where we may be able to effectively manage nature conservation features & hence identify 30x30 OECM. Question is will the new purposes enable the use of this principal at landscape scales for all features inc heritage?
