Welcome to the the regional environmental information gateway, part of the South West Observatory network.
This website provides a wide range of information about the South West's environment, covering over 50 aspects. Written in partnership with many environmental organisations in the region, you can expect each aspect to show key trends, detailed regional and local analysis, where available, as well as how we compare with other regions and nationally.
Developing a regional environmental evidence base, bringing together the knowledge, expertise and concerns of many organisations is our collective aim. We will provide an overview of the South West's environment, highlighting regional issues and helping to inform regional action through region wide monitoring.
You can find out about the state of our environment those key issues and the latest environmental trends by clicking the Themes link to the left or right of this page. A wide range of environmental aspects are covered under 12 main themes.
