Keir Starmer and his Government must make nature one of their top priorities, green groups have urged.
A coalition of environmental campaigners, including the National Trust, WWF, RSPB and Extinction Rebellion, have called on the Prime Minister to address five major challenges to protect the UK’s environment and ecosystems.
These include doubling the nature and climate-friendly farming budget to £6 billion, introducing new rules to make polluters pay for nature and climate recovery and expanding protected areas.
We need to have a little positivity here and I still hold out some hope that they won’t be as bad. It can also be done on a local level. Our council has designated areas that only get mowed once a year and some which don’t get mowed at all, and it is making a big difference to the amount of wild flowers growing. I’m sure there are more insects too. Small steps do add up.
you are correct sir, I see many local councils making effort with their local area, and that is where attention should be focused I feel. hoping or expecting Westminster to pull the thumb out and do something is a fools errand.
