National parks need wilder areas to boost declining wildlife, campaigners have urged ahead of the 70th anniversary of the first designated park.
The Government should adopt recommendations in an independent review of national parks and other designated landscapes that called for them to have wilder areas to help restore nature, campaign group Rewilding Britain said.
The call comes as the Peak District National Park marks its 70th anniversary on Saturday as the first UK national park, designated on April 17, 1951.
Rewilding Britain’s policy and campaigns co-ordinator Guy Shrubsole said national parks should lead the way on rewilding landscapes to help make Britain wilder and more nature-rich.
