	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2020 answer text <p>Improving the management of forests is a priority for DFID’s work to tackle climate change and protect the environment and biodiversity. DFID supports a range of interventions, including working with governments, businesses and community groups to strengthen governance of the forest sector and address the illegal timber trade, as well as public-private partnerships that promote sustainable investment in agriculture, by integrating measures to protect and restore forests.</p><p>This support does not directly target the replanting of native trees, and so data is not collected on the number of trees planted. Improved management and protection however creates the conditions needed for regeneration of native trees to take place naturally. For example, through DFID support, 18.7 million hectares of forest in Indonesia are protected under a national scheme backed by an international timber trade agreement, and this agreement includes protections that create the conditions under which natural regeneration can take place.</p><p>DFID’s has invested £57.2 million (2017-18), £53.1 million (2018-19) and £50.8 million (2019-20) in bilateral forest programmes over the past three years.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 06/07/2020 15:26:11 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2020 answer text <p>Trees have an important role to play for climate mitigation as we work towards net zero emissions. The Government has made major commitments to enable more tree planting in recent years, including through creation of a £640 million Nature for Climate Fund.</p><p> </p><p>Over 4,000 hectares of woodland have been planted with Government support in England over the last three years at a cost of approximately £17 million.</p><p> </p><p>While complying with the United Kingdom Forestry Standard, land managers and owners decide which species of tree to plant on their land. Woodland planted will be a mix of native and exotic species, all of which contribute towards climate mitigation.</p><p> </p><p>As we deploy new funding we will look to ensure the trees we plant not only capture carbon, but deliver a wide range of ecosystems services.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 06/07/2020 16:58:24 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
