    Brief

    Natural England Self-Service Direct Award. This project provides essential evidence and data to support nature recovery at landscape scale. The research focuses on cross-border locations where Local Habitat Maps have been developed using different methodologies and data sources. The project aims to help Responsible Authorities overcome barriers to fulfilling their Task 3 delivery responsibilities by identifying viable landscape-scale nature recovery sites. The research will evaluate potential sites based on mapped and unmapped Local Nature Recovery Strategy measures, environmental and contextual factors, ecosystem service benefits, and associated barriers, challenges, and risks. Suppliers should note this is a targeted research initiative to improve strategic decision-making for nature recovery projects across complex cross-boundary areas.
