The development of an overarching nature recovery strategy (Nature Recovery Action Plan – NRAP) for the Levels is a key output.
This strategy will link to, and be informed by, strategies being developed by Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) in Cardiff, Newport and Monmouthshire, and will inform the development of future Living Levels projects.
The strategy will focus on six key species and six key habitats or landscape features. Each species and feature will have its own action plan.
The NRAP will be linked to a GIS master map that will record protected site (SSSI) boundaries, nature reserves and Special Wildlife Sites, participating landowner holdings, survey and research data, historic site data, and Living Levels and partner projects. This map will build on the Gwent Levels Resilient Ecological Networks (RENs) mapping works led by Natural Resources Wales
