150 Species Saved in England, but 'Time Running Out' to Halt Decline
Natural England’s £13 million programme aided recovery of over 150 threatened species through habitat restoration, captive breeding, and translocation, involving 78 organisations.
- Natural England unveiled on Wednesday, August 13, 2024, that its £13m Species Recovery Programme supported species like water voles, oystercatchers, and lady's slipper orchids, warning time is running out fast.
- Amid rapid wildlife declines, Natural England’s chair warned time is running out fast to halt them, calling for greater collaboration and funding from the private sector.
- The £13 million scheme supported 63 projects with 78 organisations to create or improve 2,400 hectares of habitat, Natural England said.
- Among conservation successes, the first wild-hatched red-billed chough chick fledged in Kent for more than 200 years, and black grouse returned to the North Yorkshire Moors.
- Planning ahead, the Government will publish in the autumn a revised environmental improvement plan to meet green targets and secure long-term funding.
