north west region information


The North West is one of the UK’s most environmentally diverse regions. From the rich rural landscape of the north to the industrial centre of the south, the environmental is uniquely varied. North West of the Britain spreads around an area of 14000 kilometers and has a population of mare than seven million. It is bounded by the Scotland border in the north, the welsh mountains and the west midland in the south, the Irish Sea in the west and the pennines mountain range in the east. Most northern part of this region is rural while urban cities dominate the south. In this region agriculture covers 80%, and important habitat and wildlife areas include nearly 400 sites of special scientific interest.
What is our environment? Our environment is the air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground we walk on, the wildlife we live with, the business we do, the waste we do, the climate we have, the flooding we suffer. In the days that followed I will introduce these elements in the North West one by one.
