They aim to follow Lawton principles to create more, bigger, better and, crucially, connected, sustained and functional wildlife-rich places. Places that counter biodiversity loss, adapt to climate change and support the needs of local communities. They will provide natural solutions to reduce carbon emissions, enhance our landscapes and cultural heritage, manage flood risk and enable  people to enjoy and connect with nature where they live, work and play – benefiting health and wellbeing. This dataset shows the location and boundaries of Nature Recovery Projects throughout England. The main outline of each one was provided by the project lead, and in some cases these were refined by following geographic or administrative boundairies as listed below: OS Open rivers (OGL), AONBs (OGL), County Boundaries (OGL), OS Open Roads (OGL), SSSIs (OGL), Environmentally Sensitive Areas (OGL), Flood Risk Zone 3 (OGL), NNRs (OGL), Marine Conservation Zone (OGL).Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.
