Research and analysis were provided by Carolina Macedo (Jacobs).  Document and website design were provided by Megan Wheatley (Broadway Initiative).

The Report was prepared through a process involving over 50 organisations across the UK.

We would like to thank the 300+ individuals who participated in the workshops, roundtables, meetings, and discussions, and particularly those who provided feedback on the Draft Framework, Strategic Directions, Draft Recommendations and Final Draft Report. 

We would also like to thank a number of government department and agency staff who worked alongside the Core Group to provide feedback and facilitate dialogue with policy and technical specialists across government, in particular staff from Defra, HMT, the Environment Agency, Scottish Government and Northern Ireland Environment Agency. 

We are particularly grateful to the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation for funding the Financing Nature Recovery UK Initiative. 

The Initiative has been supported by a Steering Group of Ed Lockhart-Mummery and David Young (Broadway Initiative), James Mansfield and Rich Fitton (Finance Earth), Rhian-Mari Thomas and Helen Avery (Green Finance Institute) and Guy Thompson (Wessex Water).
