Such a shame about all that private land that presumably doesn’t contribute towards the data.

Climate change is still the biggest risk, alongside pesticide usage contributing significantly to biodiversity decline. This is just another nail in its coffin. The UK claims to love nature but I still believe the UK likes to see nature on TV more than it loves it in real life.

Nationalise grouse moors and shooting estates and have them administered by conservation groups.

How long before that’s even smaller once the planning reforms come into play.

Nature in England at risk? It has been at risk for a long time now, we have some of the worst biodiversity on the planet.

Does this mean there are more golf courses in area than protected land now?

It’s all OK so long as we each build a bug hotel at the end of our gardens. /s

The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries on Earth so when I hear articles like this it makes me even more sad at the state of this country. We have pretty much no wilderness at all in this country – it’s just chock full of farmland and grazing areas for cows and sheep. When are we going to reach the point we stop and actually put forth real effort into restoring our very crippled biodiversity?
