Our principles

What do we need to do to help nature in West Sussex, East Sussex and Brighton & Hove?

Eight Principles for nature recovery

Our approach to nature’s recovery is guided by eight broad principles.

  • These illustrate that success will require tackling the challenge as a complex problem that requires actions by different stakeholders at different scales and through varying techniques.
  • They reflect the understanding and expertise of stakeholders across our LNRS area of the different elements that need to be in place if we are to achieve real progress over the years ahead.

As Local Nature Recovery Strategies are limited in their scope, each principle is accompanied by a reminder of how it will be interpreted within the strategy.
