Understanding conflicting views in conservation: An analysis of England

Benedict Dempsey

Land Use Policy, 2021, vol. 104, issue C

Abstract: Nature conservation is being challenged to address a global biodiversity crisis yet, despite areas of consensus, there remain disagreements over issues including natural capital approaches and rewilding. Delivering effective conservation strategies requires understanding clearly the different perspectives within conservation debates, how much they actually disagree, and why. This is particularly true in England, where new conservation policy frameworks are proposed following the UK’s exit from the European Union. These include the 25 Year Environment Plan and associated Agriculture Act and Environment Bill, which commit to a ‘natural capital’ approach to conservation.
