New report says UK NPs doing next to nothing to protect wildlife, don't deserve to be called PAs

The UK’s national parks should not be considered “protected areas” unless the way they look after wildlife radically improves, according to a new report.

Internationally, the UK is leading calls to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030 (the “30x30” target), but is failing to protect its own wildlife, says a report by the British Ecological Society (BES).
