Labour announces new Countryside Protection Plan designed to protect nature and reverse the decline in British wildlife

Labour has today announced a sweeping new plan to protect and restore nature across the UK, arguing that “after 14 years of Tory chaos, nature is under threat”.

Released ahead of the expected publication of the main Parties’ manifestos next week, the new Countryside Protection Plan underscores how the Opposition is looking to expand the electoral battleground to take on the government in previously Tory-dominated rural seats.
