Nature campaigners have called for "important" grassland habitats to be protected after a project recorded hundreds of sites in Surrey.

Organisations and volunteers including Surrey Wildlife Trust and the Surrey Nature Partnership said they had recorded 460 grassland sites in the county, covering about 15 sq miles (39 sq km).

Sites in the Surrey Important Grasslands Inventory include downs, village greens, parks and churchyards.

Why does important get quotes when it's nature (the thing that die if we break) and not when it's political or financial?
