NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE

That this House congratulates the work that The Wildlife Trusts and others are doing to develop landscape scale conservation work around the UK; notes that the Stern Review highlighted the harmful impact that climate change will have on biodiversity and the challenges wildlife will face in migrating through highly damaged and fragmented landscapes; acknowledges that a landscape scale approach is required so that the environment can better accommodate wildlife movement, adapt to change and provide ecological services such as flood prevention and pollution reduction; and calls on the Government to facilitate and promote this approach through a range of bodies including local authorities, regional government, statutory bodies, private organisations and individuals.
