Only 3% of England under nature protection – report
“Little progress” has been made in protecting nature despite a government commitment, concludes a new report …
It said the government had designated about 2,800 hectares (6,918 acres) to nature in three new Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), adding 0.22% to the amount of protected land. It said it also strengthened some management of Marine Protected Areas, but that this had increased the amount of ocean protected by 4% “at most”.
