#146: Wildlife and Countryside Link

The Wildlife and Countyside Link is a website which draws together a growing number of wildlife organisations. There are 80 organisations at the time of posting... which as you can see is an increase on when I took the original screenshot below...

There is likely to be a focus on wildlife in the new specification, and the work that they do. 

Many of these organisations have also previously expressed support for the GCSE Natural History.

Wildlife and Countryside Link's members are here and there is an overlap with the supporters information on the OCR Hub.

A report is also mentioned on the home page currently as part of a campaign.

New analysis suggests that without major change the Government will miss its landmark pledge to protect 30% of the land and sea for nature.
Three years after the pledge was made (28 September 2020), the charities say Government has made:

1. No progress in protecting more of the land and sea for nature
2. No progress in improving the condition of existing protected sites
3. No progress in policy changes needed to support future improvements


Almost three-quarters of Brits (73%) do not have confidence that the government will meet its commitment to meet 30x30 or its target to stop the decline of wildlife (73%).

The page currently has a header describing the new Nature2030 Campaign.
