Nature Recovery

Bat Conservation Trust responded to Defra’s Nature Recovery Green Paper consultation that closed on the 11^th of May 2022.

We highlighted some serious concerns that the proposals put forward would not help the stated aim of creating an ecologically coherent network of terrestrial protected sites that will benefit wildlife, environment, and people.
