Occasionally we come across things which we know are not right. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has stated that protected trees are only protected if the local authority wishes that to be the case and the local authority can withdraw protected tree status when it best suits them.

Grade listed parks are in name only and they have no protection. This was the case when The London Borough of Tower Hamlets approved the private development within a grade II listed park in the borough.

There must be protection afforded to the environment like that of grade listed buildings. It seems damaging to the status of protection if it does not mean what it says. 抖音大瓜 therefore raised a national petition for greater protection of our environment. The following is the Government's response to the petition.

The Environmental Audit Committee has published its report on , which calls for the Government to conserve and restore UK biodiversity and ecosystems. The report is published amid grave concern that of the G7 countries, the UK has the lowest level of biodiversity remaining.

The MPs on the Committee found that existing Government policy and targets were inadequate to address plummeting biodiversity loss. This is made worse by nature policy not being joined up across Government, nor is nature protection consistently factored into policy making.

Some key recommendations made by the Committee include:

• The Government must establish a timetable to put management plans and monitoring in place for all Marine Protected Areas , with different categories of destructive bottom trawling banned or restricted. More MPAs should be established as 'no-take' zones.
• In the next Spending Review, greater funding must be given to Natural England which reflects its responsibilities and tasks.
• The Government should commission a review identifying and tracking public expenditure harmful to biodiversity. Once identified, Ministers must act to remove harmful subsidies and re-direct money to nature conservation and recovery.
• Tree planting should not occur on peat soils.
• Education on biodiversity must increase: a Natural History GCSE should be introduced and investment in skills should be increased for chartered ecology and associated disciplines.

What happens next?

The Government now must respond to the Committee's report, which was published on 30 June 2021, within two months. The Committee will publish the .
