Recommendation 8

Limited land availability constrains supply of natural capital schemes for nature restoration.
Recommendation
The supply of natural capital schemes to the market is inherently limited by the land space which is in practice available for nature restoration. There are constraints in the UK in delivering projects at the scale seemingly required for the international market. Therefore there is merit in the Governments support for nature recovery at scale, provided that communities impacted by development also see the benefits of nature recovery.
