Sheep farmers on Dartmoor are set to lose publicly-funded nature-friendly payments because overgrazing is damaging sites of special scientific interest (SSSI).
The solution? Abolish the independent powers of oversight, currently delegated to Natural England so that landowners are not constrained.
This stinks.

140 followers · 589 posts · Server mastodon.scotNow the #TorySewageParty are considering stripping #NaturalEngland of its powers - no to the #PeakDistrict being a #SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), no to #Farmers getting funding for #Nature friendly practices, all because Natural England is ENFORCING the rules to farmers who breach SSSIs.
#DEFRA appears silent so far.
Already the UK is #Biodiversity deficient, so hey #Tory party can make it worse

Took 25 years to get this far - total destruction of one of #England's #SSSI which supported endangered and at threat #Animal, #Bird and #Insect species, along with 71 #Trees along the #RiverLugg #Herefordshire
Restoration will take DECADES to get back what was lost.
