The Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) aims to restore and protect wildlife, improve green spaces, and strengthen resilience to climate change.
It is part of a wider national effort to reverse the decline in wildlife.
Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, said: “This is our chance to bring nature back to every corner of West Yorkshire.
“Together, we can create a greener, more vibrant region that’s full of life for generations to come.”
The strategy outlines more than 20 priorities, including peatland restoration, river and wetland improvements, tree planting, and expanding green infrastructure in towns and cities.
It also highlights the importance of water resources, describing them as West Yorkshire’s “big blue thread” that supports wildlife, reduces flood risk, and keeps communities healthy with access to clean, safe water.
The public can comment on the strategy through a short or full online survey, both linked to an interactive Local Habitat Map.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority will coordinate the delivery of the strategy in partnership with regional organisations.
The consultation is open until November 16.
