Reacting to Biodiversity indicators for the UK and England, Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife and Countryside Link, said:
"From the deterioration of protected wildlife sites to the disappearing specialist species like farmland birds, the biodiversity indicators turn the page to another story of decline. With time so short ahead of the 2030 legal deadline to halt nature's decline, Government has just one shot at planning reform, farming reform, and public spending to write a new chapter of recovery. The jury is out on whether the Government has the vision to see past short-termism to create a genuinely sustainable economy."
