Staffordshire-based Andrew Mason said he had witnessed a “worrying” decrease in wildlife in his local area.
“We’re losing our butterflies, we’re losing our bees, our insects,” he explained.
“We’ve seen a reduction in the birds because the farmers are cutting the hedgerows, taking away their food source for the winter.
“It’s really quite upsetting,” he added.
There are some positive conservation efforts going on, he added, “but we really have to work at this if we stand a chance of saving what we’ve got left.”
