Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reasons her Department did not include an apex target in the 25 year environmental improvement plan.

The Environmental Improvement Plan 2023 states that its apex goal is to halt the decline in our biodiversity so we can achieve thriving plants and wildlife. This is underpinned by our apex target to halt species decline in England by 2030.
