“Under siege from climate change, development, pollution and aggressive new farming methods, the country’s biodiversity is already significantly less rich than it was 50 years ago.” The Independent continues to promote it’s environmental agenda today with a striking front cover and leading article on the threats to the UK’s natural habitat and heritage. There is a strong economic and social case for a holistic approach to protecting and improving our natural resource base including paying farmers an income for their environmental husbandry and stewardship.
