The government’s plan to protect and restore nature in England by 2030 has been condemned as “pathetic” and “completely insufficient” in the face of the spiralling environmental crisis.

The long-awaited plan published on Monday calls for landowners to voluntarily opt to protect and enhance nature, rather than creating legal protections for nature across more of the country’s land, critics say.

Ministers said the strategy would accelerate action to meet an international commitment to restore 30% of nature by 2030 made by more than 100 countries during Cop15 negotiations in Montreal in 2022.
