    Natural Advantage: Action for Biodiversity in the South West Case Studies in Sustainability • NATURAL ADVANTAGE:Action for Biodiversity in the South West • NATURAL ADVANTAGE:Action for Biodiversity in the South West Nature for all The nature conservation resource in our region is a major asset which we should all be proud of. Our characteristic and remarkable combination of wildlife and geological heritage is significant as an attraction to tourists, for businesses seeking to relocate, and as a major contributor to the quality of life in the South West. This has been highlighted in the recently published Regional Environment Strategy. None of us can fail to appreciate this wonderful heritage but it has been harder to understand what action is needed to care for it. This booklet clearly demonstrates the breadth of what is being done now. Across the region a host of organisations and individuals are working in partnership to maintain and enhance this precious nature conservation heritage. Wildlife and habitats are benefiting, but as these case studies demonstrate the benefits also extend across to economic and social well being. What is important is that these studies act to promote further action in the South West.To ensure that we pass on to future generations a wealth of wildlife and habitats, that continue to enhance the quality of life of all those who live, work or visit here. The SW Regional Biodiversity Partnership must be congratulated for putting together this important “ When we see land as a booklet. It is a celebration of what we can all achieve when we work in partnership.
