<p>We published an <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/839610/net-gain-ia.pdf"
target="_blank">impact assessment</a> which quantifies the potential benefits of a
mandatory biodiversity net gain requirement. This analysis estimates that net gain
is likely to deliver several thousands of hectares of habitat creation and enhancement
per year, and we anticipate this will make an important contribution to the Nature
Recovery Network (NRN).</p><p> </p><p>Beyond the contribution of biodiversity net
gain, the NRN requires clear spatial strategies to direct investment, strong partnerships
to support its delivery, and a clear set of incentives and land management actions
to drive improvements.</p>
