How Have Regulatory Changes Impacted Ecology in the UK, and What Is to Come in the Near Future?
After leaving the EU, the 1992 Habitats Directive is no longer applicable to the United Kingdom.
The EU’s Habitats Directive ensured regulations were in place regarding conservation of natural habitats, creating designated Special Areas of Conservation and listing the various species of flora and fauna to be protected. The UK is actively developing new legislation to replace it with several regulatory bills such as the UK Environments Act 2021, Eurasian Beaver Protection 2022, UK Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 and the Biodiversity Net Gain of 2024.
