Everyone to live 15 minutes from green space or water in England under plans
By Helen BriggsEnvironment correspondent
Everyone will live within 15 Minutes ' walk of a green space or water under new government plans to restore nature.
Habitat for wildlife will be expanded and there will be 25 new or enlarged national nature reserves.
More money will go to protecting rare wildlife, such as hedgehogs and red squirrels.
The " blueprint" sets out how ministers intend to clean up air and water, boost nature and reduce waste over The Next five years in England.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said protecting the Natural Environment was fundamental to the health, economy and prosperity of the country.
" This plan provides The Blueprint for how we deliver our commitment to leave our environment in a better state than we found it, making sure we drive forward progress with renewed ambition and achieve our target of not just halting, but reversing The Decline of nature, " He Said .
The government promised in 2018 to leave The Environment in a better state for Future Generations . Yet earlier this month The Office for Environmental Protection said efforts were falling " far short" of what was needed.
The post-Brexit green watchdog warned the country was facing a " deeply concerning decline in biodiversity".
The government has now set out how it intends to meet legally-binding targets On Water quality, biodiversity and waste as well as international targets agreed at the COP15 UN biodiversity summit in December.
The ambitions of the Environmental Improvement Plan include:
Environment Secretary, Therese Coffey , said: " Nature is vital for our survival, crucial to our food security, clean air, and clean water as well as health and wellbeing benefits. "
Green groups have been calling for a " quantum shift" in action and ambition on restoring nature.
Richard Benwell, chief executive of Wildlife and Countryside Link, said the plans should be " a biodiversity to-do list for every minister in government".
And the Wildlife Trusts said they must deliver " a huge shift in action and ambition".
Chief executive Craig Bennett said the plans must ensure " the whole of government is acting to halt The Chronic loss of nature and tackle this existential threat to our prosperity, our ability to produce food, and to have enough clean water".
The government has set legally-binding targets for reversing The Decline of wildlife such as hedgehogs, red squirrels and Water Voles by 2030.
Yet, the latest figures show key animals and plants declined by 82% between 1970 and 2018.
One lesson for How To Turn Around The Fortunes of some of the UK's native wildlife comes from conservation efforts to protect the pine marten, a small woodland mammal that is making a return to southern Britain.
The pine marten was once found across the UK, but has declined dramatically due to deforestation and hunting.
Populations have clung on in Scotland and in the Last Decade a handful were moved to mid-Wales to reinvigorate The Tiny population there.
Small numbers have also been released in The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley in Gloucestershire in a project run by the Vincent Wildlife Trust and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
" The pine marten is a good example of how a species can recover if people stop killing them, you provide more habitat and you direct conservation efforts, " said Lizzie Croose of the Vincent Wildlife Trust.
It also shows the importance of restoring habitats for wildlife that are bigger and better connected, said Jamie Kingscott of Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
" We need to think on a landscape scale, " He Said . " We're running out of time and we have to start to think bigger. "
