The Legal Protection for some of the UK’s most vulnerable Wildlife, including adder, pine martens and mountain hares, is under threat from new proposals by the JNCC to only allow those that are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered, or a European Protected Species (EPS) to be protected by law.
Neil and Steve Allain look into what the current schedule 5 protection being reviewed is and what species of reptile and amphibian do not qualify for protection under the proposals are, and what the changes would mean for them.
We also let you know how you can help stop these proposals (a petition and a letter to your MP), the links for which are below
