WilliamEarlier this year, the government launched a review of potential sites to be added to the UK’s Tentative List of Natural World Heritage Sites, forming the basis of the country’s site nominations put forward to UNESCO.
It could see the Lincolnshire east coast join the likes of Mount Kilimanjaro and the Great Barrier Reef on the iconic list. A decision is expected by early 2023.Steve Rowland, RSPB England Area Manager for Lincolnshire, said: “A wide range of species use the east coast as an essential home and as refuge during huge migration journeys.
