"Recovering Nature for Growth, Health and Security", Natural England’s Strategic Direction 2025-2030 starts "Nature underpins our nation’s growth, health, and security. We need to invest in Nature to maximise the full range of benefits it provides, and we depend upon. The current value of Nature to the economy is estimated to be over £1.8 trillion. Putting Nature at the heart of new housing, infrastructure and renewable energy projects attracts greater investment and builds in resilience to climate change. Economic growth cannot be achieved without a thriving natural environment."
