Last week the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Andrea Leadsom) announced, through a letter to the UK Natural Capital Committee, that Defra was committed to producing a 25 Year Environment Strategy and that it would be testing the methods to deliver it in a limited number of "Pioneer" areas
The Biosphere has been chosen as the 'Landsape" Pioneer and to be one of two sites included in the 'Marine' Pioneer. Cumbrian has been selected as the 'Catchment' Pioneer and the Greater Manchester area as the 'urban'

The Biosphere's inclusion in two of the pioneer areas is testament to our effective partnership working and success in pushing forward projects to improve this area's environment and deliver the associated economic and social benefits. It provides an exciting opportunity for the Partnership and confirms the Biosphere’ role to test and develop new national policies.
We are already working with Defra, Natural England and other partners to design how the Pioneer will work in support of our strategy and bring innovative finance and methods to deliver growth in our natural environment and the social and economic wellbeing of the area. These Pioneer projects will run over 3 to 5 years initially.
