-
In November 1973, following establishment of the Nature Conservancy Council, responsibility for nature conservancy transferred from the Department of Education and Science to the Department of the Environment. In 1990 the Environmental Protection Act established a Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) to advise the Secretary of State for the Environment on UK and international nature conservancy issues. This appears to have been led by the Rural Affairs Directorate. In 1995 this Directorate became the Wildlife and Countryside Directorate with the Wildlife Sponsorship Branch having responsibility for sponsorship matters relating to the JNCC and English Nature.
