Existing Nature Network Map

Which areas of Cornwall are the most important in terms of biodiversity and the provision of key ecosystem services?

The map identifies the most important areas for biodiversity and provision of key natural benefits and services. It includes areas currently benefiting from statutory protection (SSSI, SPA, SAC, local & national nature reserves) and areas without such protection.

The nature network area corresponds to approximately 25% of the total land in mainland Cornwall Although areas are valued on the basis of existing biodiversity and benefits, these benefits may still be enhanced by further habitat restoration and creation.
