'Nature Recovery Network' launched on IOM

Manx Wildlife Trust and UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man have launched a new 'Nature Recovery Network.'

The aim is to encourage people to do their bit for nature and get an all-Island picture of efforts to boost biodiversity. 

Those with land or who manage land within schools or public buildings are invited to take part in a survey, and receive scores for their contributions to food, shelter, water, connectivity and natural solutions. 

If land scores more than 50%, it will be added to a new map with an interactive dashboard showing areas of nature. 

The project is part of Manx Wildlife Trust's goal to see 30% of the Island's land and sea managed for nature by 2030.
