12: Ecological Restoration, BNG, New Northern Ireland Government & New Marine Protections
Description
In this episode of Nature In A Nutshell, we welcome James Hicks and Tim Graham from CIEEM's Ecological Restoration and Habitat Creation Special Interest Group to talk about the recently published Good Practice Guidance for Ecological Restoration, to help ecologists and environmental managers to design and deliver robust ecological restoration projects.
We also discuss Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) going live in February, the new Northern Ireland Government and Environment Minister, new marine protections, Scotland farming subsidies, and a new environmental watchdog in Wales.
We also cover the positive news of the Michael Mann lawsuit and black rhinos on the rise in Kenya.
Nature In A Nutshell is brought to you by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM). We are the leading professional membership body representing and supporting ecologists and environmental managers in the UK, Ireland and abroad.
