The Lost Nature report - click here for both Summary and Full versions – exposes how developers include just half of the ecological features they should, even those legally binding requirements set out in planning conditions. Housing developers are failing to deliver the bat boxes, bird boxes, Hedgehog highways, bug bricks, trees and wildflower meadows they promised. And cash-strapped local authorities don't have the time or resources to check up on what has happened.
That's where a group of researchers from the University of Sheffield stepped in. They visited nearly 6,000 houses across 42 new developments in England and recorded what was and wasn't present. We thought their research was thorough, and the findings are damning and very important, so we asked them to write a report for us. We've enjoyed working with them on the report and have learned a lot.
Wild Justice is not afraid to call out large, powerful industries if they harm nature. Our work to do this, including helping people like the authors of this report to get these findings across, depends on donations from those who support us.
You are our source of funding and a donation today would feel like a vote of confidence in the Wild Justice way of doing things. You can donate through PayPal, bank transfer or a cheque in the post - see details here.
That’s it for now. We’ll be back in touch soon, including updates on our petitionto ban driven grouse shooting (30,000+ signatures so far).
