The Natural Heritage Futures initiative promotes integrated management of the natural heritage and is based on three main outputs. "From National…" considers the natural heritage across 6 themes; "…to Local" considers the natural heritage in 21 areas each of which has its own distinctive identity resulting from the interaction of geology, landforms, landscapes, wildlife and land use. These are underpinned by the supporting reference documents - National Assessments - which provide data and information about the natural heritage, presented both at national level and within each of the 21 areas.
