Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs<\/abbr>) are partnerships of a broad range of local organisations, businesses and people who aim to help bring about improvements in their local natural environment.<\/p>\n LNPs<\/abbr> work\u00a0 strategically to help their local area manage the natural environment. They aim to make sure that its value, and the value of the services it provides to the economy and the people who live there, is taken into account in local decisions, for example about planning and development.<\/p>\n Setting up LNPs<\/abbr> was one of the commitments\u00a0the UK government\u00a0made in the Natural Environment White Paper 2011<\/a>. The\u00a0approach derived from this can be found in the government policy paper 2015 - 2015 government policy: biodiversity and ecosystems<\/a>.<\/p>\n
