Natural England is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the United Kingdom. It acts as the government's advisor for the natural environment in England, with responsibilities including the protection and enhancement of the country's landscapes, flora, fauna, and geology. While not directly involved in space activities like manufacturing or launch services, Natural England utilizes satellite imagery and geospatial data through projects like "Living England" to monitor habitats, track environmental changes, and inform land use decisions. They collaborate with organizations like the European Space Agency (ESA) and leverage data from programs like the EU's Copernicus for environmental monitoring and conservation efforts.
