Economic success depends on nature

Long Eau Washlands in Manby and Bleaklow Moor in Derbyshire are central to a major report published by Natural England, showing that investment in the natural environment is critical to long term economic prosperity and that natural services provide a highly cost effective solution to growing problems like flood and coastal defence, carbon emissions and the preservation of soil, water and air quality. No Charge? Valuing the Natural Environment, pulls together leading research to show that the economic value of nature now runs to billions of pounds in the UK alone, and that there are major savings to be
made through looking after it. Download the report from: www.naturalengland.org.uk
