Research has found that one in seven species in the UK face extinction, and over 40% of species have experienced decline since 1970.
A full public inquiry could establish the extent to which current laws provide adequate protections for UK species, and the effectiveness of Natural England and Defra, and whether any reforms to current laws and the Government’s wider approach to protecting biodiversity are needed.
