Repost from nowthisearth • The UK government is planning to make all households in England be within a 15-minute walk from green space or water, by expanding areas of woodlands, wetlands, parks, and rivers. It’s all part of the UK’s 2023 Environmental Improvement Plan, which aims to restore nature and improve environmental quality. Two of its goals include creating and restoring at least 1.2M acres of wildlife habitat and 400 miles of river, and providing funding to protect several threatened animal species. 'This plan provides the blueprint for how we deliver our commitment to leave our environment in a better state than we found it, making sure we drive forward progress with renewed ambition and achieve our target of not just halting, but reversing the decline of nature,' said UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. #climatechange #greenspace #nature #uknews
