Current British Conservation Projects

Hi all...

I have an essay to write for my MSc on an economic justification of a current British Conservation project. It has to be from the POV of an economist rather than a conservationist... What I was wondering was, does anyone have any suggestions for me on what project to use as my subject?

I'm genuinely stuck for one to do and I'm hoping that anyone here can give me a little bit of inspiration

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this one its about as big as they come, I don't know if it will fit what you are looking for, but its a start, and in my humble opinion an excellent conservation project.

There's also the Cuckmere Valley project. They are trying to turn the area into saltmarsh but some residents want to maintain the flood barriers at horrendous cost. It should be on the environment agency website otherwise the seven sisters country park one. Good luck with it!
