Nature’s recovery must not be pushed to the sidelines, the new head of Cornwall Wildlife Trust has said as communities in the South West face multiple pressures ahead this winter.
Dr Matt Walpole, who takes over as chief executive of the Trust, said the extent to which the country could flourish would be fundamentally underpinned by the state of nature. He called for action to be ramped up to tackle the loss of wildlife locally and for communities across Cornwall to come together to play their part.
