A council has become the first in Kent to formally make a Nature Recovery Declaration.

In it, Maidstone council recognises “the catastrophic and ongoing declines impacting the natural world” and made a “solemn commitment to embed positive change across all our interactions with the natural world”.

It comes as butterfly numbers are the lowest on record in the UK.

The Butterfly Conservation said this year’s Big Butterfly Count, which revealed the worst numbers since it began 14 years ago, is “a warning sign to us all”.
