England will have to go through “significant changes” in land use<\/strong> to arrest the deep crisis gripping its ecosystem, according to the UK Environment Agency<\/a>. In a new report<\/a>, in fact, the government body highlighted the worrying situation facing the UK<\/strong>‘s largest nation, which has long since undergone a severe contraction of its biodiversity.<\/p>\n

“Nature provides the basics for life – clean water, clean air and food<\/strong>,” the study recalls. “With major pressures on land use across England, nature-based solutions must be a major part in our response to protect these essentials whilst rebuilding our natural world.”<\/p>\n

Today we released our new \u2018Working with Nature\u2019 report, which warns that ecosystems are at risk if we don\u2019t act now.<\/p>\n
