Aiming to reverse a nationwide depletion of habitats, and seeking to achieve net zero by 2050, the UK government is using a range of policy initiatives and programmes to invest in our land and water-based environments. To make sure these actions are effective, it’s essential that decision-makers have accurate and up-to-date evidence.

The Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) is a Defra-led science and innovation programme, working across both land and water environments. It collects data on the extent, condition and change over time of England’s ecosystems and natural capital and quantifies the benefits to society they provide. Forest Research is at the heart of the programme, collecting data on trees, woodlands and forest habitats, building software solutions and delivering mapping products.
