A Nature Conservation Review is a two-volume work by Derek Ratcliffe, published by Cambridge University Press in 1977.
[1] It set out to identify the most important places for nature conservation in Great Britain.
The approach adopted by Ratcliffe was adapted and applied to the selection of sites important for geological conservation in the Geological Conservation Review.
A Marine Nature Conservation Review has also been published.
Volume 1 set out the rationale and methods used, and gave descriptions of the major habitat types.
