answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2016 answer text <p>Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) are the country's very best wildlife and geological sites. There are over 4,000 SSSIs in England covering around 8% of the country's land area. Information on the proportion of SSSI land in England that is in (a) favourable and (b) unfavourable but recovering condition is available through Gov.UK: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/guidance/protected-areas-sites-of-special-scientific-interest" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/guidance/protected-areas-sites-of-special-scientific-interest</a></p><p> </p><p>During the current financial year the proportion of land in favourable condition has increased from 37.6% to 38.5% (as at 8 March) with a further 57% in unfavourable but recovering condition. This is due to successful conservation management by farmers, foresters and other land managers with support principally through agri-environment schemes.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 10/03/2016 10:41:45 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
