The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (NERC) provides that any public body or statutory undertaker in England and Wales must have regard to the purpose of conservation of biological diversity in the exercise of their functions. The intention is to help ensure that biodiversity becomes an integral consideration in the development of policies, and that decisions of public bodies work with the grain of nature and not against it.
White-clawed Crayfish: This booklet published by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust aims to raise awareness of the plight of our native crayfish with landowners, anglers and the public.
