Abstract
There is increasing concern about the severance of land and land use from its cultural past. British responses include landscape-scale attempts to “re-create” extensive conservation areas like the Cambridgeshire fenland, with Britain’s largest-ever, lottery-funded conservation project. Such efforts are undertaken because people recognize landscape-scale projects are needed for plants and animals to respond to climate change, to meet national obligations to offset carbon emissions, and to mitigate and moderate flood risk. These major restoration projects are also intended to help economic development, especially in postindustrial and depressed rural areas. Such restoration projects go far beyond 1970s and 1980s reclamation efforts in Britain and aim to regenerate sustainable landscapes. The intention is to embed these landscapes in the regional environmental matrix and to reinvigorate the regional economy and communities.
