for a taskforce to reintroduce animals such as the wildcat to england, as our science correspondent victoria gill reports. emerging, post lockdown, into spring sunshine. when we ve been allowed out, so many of us headed to natural spaces and green landscapes like this protected woodland in cheshire. but while it s helped us to cope, nature is in crisis. in the uk one in seven species is under threat. now the government s revealed how it plans to build the restoration of the natural world into a post pandemic recovery, with a legally binding target to halt the loss of species by 2030. bringing together all the different actors in those landscapes the farmers, the conservation groups, the water companies, the house builders, the local government then this really could work. and if you see the power of a legally binding target that
back to life takes time. you can actually feel under your feet by the way it moves that this is just a blanket bog of moss that is floating on the water, but it s taken 20 years to get back to this state that s full of vegetation, that s locking away carbon and is a rich habitat for lots of different wildlife. across the uk, nature is in decline. conservation scientists estimate that we ve lost 40 million birds since the 1970s, and that well over a third of our native mammals are under threat of extinction. we re losing species, birds, animals, invertebrates, and we re losing those natural spaces. if all the economic drivers have been in that direction so far, why is this point going to be the change that we need? what we once thought was a choice between either economic development or environmental protection, we have reached the point today where we can see we have to do both of these things together, because if we don t look after the environment, in the end, that will cause
