Government gives backing to strong wildlife regulations
22 March 2012
Responding to the Government's review of wildlife and habitat regulations today (Thursday 22 March 2012), Friends of the Earth's Executive Director Andy Atkins said:
"This review shows that protecting our precious wildlife sites is a key ingredient for a healthy and wealthy future - despite George Osborne's misleading spin about environmental protection being bad for business.
"And with the Government preparing to unleash a new round of unsustainable developments on the countryside, such as new roads and airports, strong protection for our natural assets and wildlife is more important than ever."
