Nature Under Attack

In 2020 the government pledged to protect at least 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030 – the ‘30x30’ target. Two years on and they have made woeful progress. What can we, as citizens, do to challenge this inaction? We speak to Kate Jennings, Head of Site Conservation and Species Policy for the RSPB and Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife and Countryside Link; a coalition of over 60 environmental organisations and author of the report "Nature 2030 - Habitats".
