  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
