<p>Whilst local Biodiversity Action Plans can be a useful means of coordinating and
communicating action on biodiversity, there is no formal requirement on local authorities
to produce one and the Government does not keep records of the number they produce.</p><p>
</p><p>In 2020, the Government introduced new measures in the Environment Bill to
establish Local Nature Recovery Strategies and provide a framework for the Nature
Recovery Network. Local Nature Recovery Strategies are a new system of spatial strategies
for nature, covering the whole of England. They are designed as tools to drive more
coordinated, practical and focused action to help nature. All public authorities will
be required to have regard to relevant strategies as part of a stronger duty on public
authorities to conserve and enhance biodiversity.</p>
