Government’s plan to ‘streamline’ environmental regulations could put dormice, porpoises and bats under threat.
Scrapping green regulations in a bid to boost economic growth amounts to “a full-on attack on the laws that protect nature”, conservationists have warned.
Laws that protect species such as porpoises, hazel dormice and otters are set to be “reformed” by the Government as it embarks on a major drive to deregulate and “streamline” rules safeguarding the natural world.
Environmental campaigners warned the drive to scrap regulations would be “devastating” for British wildlife.
Brexit bonfire of environment regulations will kill otters, dolphins and birds, say campaigners
