Don’t cut the countryside! England‟s conservation organisations have joined forces to paint a grim picture of a countryside starved of money by budgetcuts.On the 30th anniversary of the Wildlife and Countryside Link, its members have issued an unprecedented warning aboutwhat the future would hold should the Government slash spending on conservation, wildlife-friendly farming and publicrecreation.The organisation will share its concerns with MPs at a parliamentary reception this evening (Wednesday), held to mark 30years of working together for the natural environment.Paul de Zylva, Chair of Wildlife and Countryside Link, said: “We all know the new Government will have a hard job makingdifficult and far-reaching decisions about where the axe should fall on public spending. There may be a temptation to seecuts in conservation and recreation as an easy win, but in reality ministers need to think very hard before making cuts thatcould have profound and perhaps irreversible consequences for England‟s wildlife, landscapes and people. We want to make

clear that in the case of conservation, slashing budgets would be a false economy – short term savings would translate intohuge long term costs for our economy and our national well-being.” Link fears an austerity countryside, where the loss of public money for protected sites such as Sites of Special ScientificInterest (SSSIs) has left the country‟s best wildlife sites sadly degraded. The loss of money for wildlife-friendly farming has seen farmland birds resume their slide into extinction. Bat populations areclinging onto survival in isolated pockets, facing starvation due to the dwindling insect populations, while the country‟s flower meadows have all but vanished.England‟s uplands have become degraded; their wildlife is in decline, and their ability to lock away carbon and provide clean drinking water for millions sadly reduced. On the coasts, cuts have undone years of work to manage remaining and newlycreated coastal habitats such as saltmarsh and saline lagoons, impacting wildlife and flood protection.At sea, less management and enforcement has seen a further decline in wildlife-rich reefs and seagrass beds that shelterspecies like seahorses and pipefish. Illegal fishing has increased, putting even more pressure on fish numbers.There are fewer people too. Without cash to keep paths and bridleways open, huge swathes of the English countryside andcoast are effectively closed to millions. Locked up in towns and cities, unable to enjoy the country‟s breathing spaces, peop leare less healthy, costing the National Health Service millions of extra pounds each year. In turn, the rural economy is denied

the large sums of money visitors to the countryside spend each year.Paul de Zylva said: “Such a picture is not an exaggeration, but nor is it an inevitability. Minsters will need to make diffi cultchoices about which areas of public spending offer the best value for money. Defra and its agencies like Natural Englandspend just 0.5 per cent of the Government‟s budget, yet their investment in the countryside brings huge benefits in wildlife, clean air and water, flood alleviation, carbon sequestration and pollination. A healthy natural environment is not a luxury butfundamental to our existence. The Deputy Prime Minister has said it would be morally wrong to leave our children andgrandchildren with huge debts. It would be just as immoral to bequeath them an impoverished environment and an Englandthat is in many ways diminished.”
