Richard Benwell will deliver the Sir John Burnett Memorial Lecture. The talk title is:

“Targets, trends and trajectories: can DEFRA halt the decline of nature?”

Abstract: The Government promises to restore nature in one breath, but a rapid deregulatory economic growth agenda in the next. Will the new legal framework for nature’s recovery provide an answer?

Richard is Chief Executive of Wildlife and Countryside Link. Link is England’s largest coalition of environmental charities, dedicated to the improvement of our natural world and animal welfare.
