Preservation of Landscape and Biodiversity for Future Generations
The unique landscape, heritage assets, and biological diversity must be preserved and improved to protect the wider global ecosystem and benefit future generations.
It must also be recognised that the importance of the environment however goes far beyond the immediate benefits it can provide. Safeguarding our unique landscape (including heritage assets) and biological diversity also makes an important contribution to the protection of the wider global ecosystem. It is therefore critical that this vital asset is preserved and improved for the enjoyment and benefit of future generations.
