BRITAIN is at risk of missing its legally binding target to protect biodiversity and nature, a new report has warned.
In December 2020, Britain pledged to protect and conserve at least 30 per cent of the country’s land and sea by 2030 as part of an international target agreed at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (Cop15) in Montreal.
