Heathland wildlife in the South Downs National Park

Lowland heath is a fragile habitat. 95% of it has been lost worldwide and 20% of what is left, is in the UK. Fragmented by development and forest encroachment, the wildlife in these small islands of heathland remains highly vulnerable.
But great efforts are being made to bring back grazing and to create wildlife corridors, linking the heathlands together, helping the animals and plants that live here to flourish.
Find out more about our work to protect the small pockets of lowland heath that remain in the South Downs through the Heathland Reunited project - www.southdowns.gov.uk/heathla...
