National Park Health Check Report

The results are in for National Parks: nature needs a lifeline.

National Parks in England and Wales captivate the imagination and provide access to wild spaces for millions of people every year, but dig a little deeper and all is not as it seems.

Nature is in crisis across the UK. 75 years on from the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, we've carried out an assessment of nature recovery in our National Parks. We looked at the health of peatlands, woodlands, freshwater, protected areas and species and now the results are in.
READ THE REPORT
NATURE IN NATIONAL PARKS IS IN CRISIS
Only 6% of the total land area of National Parks is currently managed effectively for nature
70-80% of carbon storing peatland in the UK is damaged
It could take up to 235 years for some National Parks to meet national tree coverage targets
Not a single water body in an English National Park is in good overall health

TAKE ACTION FOR NATURE
National Parks and the communities that call them home are the custodians of the last truly wild spaces in the UK. However, despite the best efforts of many working to protect our natural and cultural heritage, nature is still struggling due to a lack of resources, a lack of data and a lack of significant powers to make the systemic changes needed.

Major reforms are needed if nature is to survive and flourish — will you send a message to your representative demanding action for nature recovery in National Parks?

Let’s get National Park nature back to full health.
