England | Enviros dismayed at poor ecological condition of key sites in NPs

England’s national parks are doing a “shocking” job at protecting the country’s most precious areas of nature with barely a quarter in good condition, a campaign group has said.

Only 26 per cent of the formally protected land within national parks is in “favourable”, or good, condition, according to Natural England, the Government body responsible for monitoring and protecting them, which has seen its overall budget fall by more than 60 per cent since 2008.
