Is this public land or simply another way of robbing taxpayers to benefit wealthy landowners?
I would be happier to see stronger legislation against the use of previously banned insecticides and herbicides being thrown over farmland. I mean, what’s the point in conserving existing wetlands and forests when they are being fed by a toxic chemical soup.
This is no use. How many football pitches or area of Wales is this?
Good idea, 20 years too late.
I’m pleased to see any sort of nature recovery work but £2.4 million for 99k hectares is not enough, no way near enough.
£2.4M shared over 99,000 hectares. Good one.
And how much of that will be siphoned away into various forms of corruption?
Total non-story.
Whilst good there is so much more potential here.
If the world went vegan we would reduce agricultural land globally by circa 75% [according to the largest meta analysis carried out on this topic to date](https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets).
We could then rewild all this extra land, providing vibrant ecosystems and woodlands which will act as effective carbon sinks.
Future government thinks that looks like a nice place to build houses
Good, this is the first time I’ve seen evidence of the government’s promised ‘rewilding’!
I didn’t know, so I looked it up: A hectare is 100 metres squared, or 10000 square metres.
You can make a bigger reserve if you destroy Birmingham
Who’s garden is this then?
Good news btw.
And this from the party that wants to build on green spaces. Fucking tossers
