Biodiversity
The Dartford warbler is one of the defining species for the conservation of this important area. It’s easily overlooked, sometimes giving itself away by its scratchy song and occasional song-flight. If conditions are right, pairs can raise two, even three broods each summer. Once down to only 10 pairs in the whole of the UK, habitat protection and management, and warmer winters, now mean the UK population is in the thousands.
The world is facing a biodiversity crisis that will affect every single one of us. With nature being lost at an unprecedented rate, scientists agree humans are exploiting our planet beyond its limits.
This is an entirely valid concern in these uncertain times – is it possible to sustain food security alongside nature recovery?
We started the year with a new global commitment to set aside 30% of the planet for nature by the end of this decade.
