Biodiversity and Eco Services
A high dependency on imported fresh food, coupled with failure to act on climate breakdown, is risking national food security, according to a new report by MPs on the House of Commons Environment Audit Committee published today.
The Department for Food Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) is getting ready to set up district licensing schemes to deliver pond creation and restoration across England to protect the habitats of great crested newts.
A higher standard of wastewater treatment in the UK has been linked to substantial improvements in a river’s biodiversity over the past 30 years, according to a new Defra-funded study.
Re-engineered spoils from the Thames Tideway Tunnel project are being used as part of the largest habitat creation project ever constructed inside the M25 and London’s biggest wildlife haven.
Water companies in England have today announced ambitious plans to plant 11 million trees, part of a wider commitment to improve the natural environment, to support their goal of achieving a carbon neutral water industry by 2030.
