Plantlife have released their “The State of Nature 2023” and is a stark call to action for our disappearing wild plants across the UK.
There are some stark headline figures associated with the report:
- 54% of flowering plants and
- 59% of mosses and liverworts
have declined in distribution across Great Britain since 1970. Also:
- 28% of fungi are threatened with extinction
Obviously this really should be seen as a call to action for immediate steps to halt the decline. Nature restoration projects have been demonstrated to help reverse this in local areas, something that MWN take to heart.
