RSPB’s reaction to Government Watchdog’s report on environmental improvement progress
The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) has shown that progress remains far too slow on environmental improvement. This puts economic growth, net zero, and public health at risk.
Beccy Speight, RSPB chief executive, said: “Nature in England is still in freefall, and the UK Government is off track on its own legal targets. Action is what matters now: real change on the ground before it’s too late. We back the OEP’s call for Government to drive greater uptake of high‑quality, nature‑friendly farming schemes and to properly fund, improve, and expand the protected sites network on land and at sea.”

This government ( and I’m sorry to say I voted for them) is clueless and careless when it comes to the environment despite their platitudes suggesting otherwise. One only has to look at the indifference to the proposals for game bird shooting licences on both grouse moors and pheasant estates, you haven’t seen them? Exactly.
