I support Policy S2, but nature and the environment must come first. We are the most nature depleted country in Europe and we have a unique opportunity to lead nature recovery in England. We need more green and wildlife friendly linkages between sites to enable mammals, amphibians and reptiles to travel from one site to another in order to capitalise on the biggest gene pool possible. To avoid in-breeding, we don't want just isolated "pockets" of biodiversity, but need them to be more joined up.
