Wildlife Groups Critique Government’s Environmental Policies Amid Failure to Meet Targets

by Geraldine S.

in Environmental Policies, Green Supply Chains, Sustainability & Ethics
Recent announcements by the government regarding nature policies have drawn criticism from wildlife groups, who argue these initiatives are insufficient to address the government’s shortcomings in meeting environmental targets. The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) reported this month that England’s natural environment is at risk due to the government’s inability to fulfill its legally binding targets on species abundance and water quality. In response to the OEP’s findings, the government announced plans to prohibit the industrial fishing of sandeels, coinciding with the first anniversary of the legally binding environmental improvement plan (EIP) targets set out in the Environment Act 2021. The ban on sandeel fishing, initially proposed in 2022, is currently undergoing consultation. Joan Edwards, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts, expressed concern over the UK government’s track record on environmental goals.
According to the OEP, progress on approximately half of the government’s nature objectives is either stalled or regressing. None of the 23 environmental targets assessed were found to be on a satisfactory track, raising questions about the government’s efforts to address ongoing issues such as nature declines, river pollution, and the authorization of certain pesticides. Environmental specialists have noted that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has yet to outline a clear strategy to reverse the decline of nature by 2030, with species including insects and birds continuing to decrease in numbers. Richard Benwell, Chief Executive of Wildlife and Countryside Link, acknowledged the positive impact of closing sandeel fisheries and restricting bottom-trawling in protected areas.
However, he emphasized the need for Defra to expedite and expand actions to halt the decline of nature by 2030, following the OEP’s recent warnings. The government has defended its policies, stating that these measures are part of a broader strategy to improve natural conditions. The ban on sandeel fishing in English waters of the North Sea is set to commence in April. Additional measures include more stringent restrictions on harmful bottom trawling practices and a new framework for national parks and protected areas. Environment Secretary Steve Barclay highlighted the government’s achievements since the introduction of the EIP, citing the planting of nearly 5 million trees and improvements in public access to the countryside. He emphasized the government’s commitment to environmental protection as essential for the country’s prosperity and outlined new commitments aimed at fostering a cleaner, greener nation.
