Report says land should only be classed as protected if wildlife is proved to be recovering over long-term
The UK’s national parks should not be considered “protected areas” unless the way they look after wildlife radically improves, according to a new report.
Internationally, the UK is leading calls to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030 (the “30×30” target), but is failing to protect its own wildlife, says a report by the British Ecological Society (BES).
