Working towards a Wilder Yorkshire

We thought #YorkshireDay would be the day to let you know that the first-ever State of Yorkshire’s Nature report has just been published by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust!

Sadly, the report estimates that nearly 2,000 species may have disappeared from Yorkshire over the last 200 years, including 1 in 20 of Yorkshire’s larger moths and plants, and a further 3,000 are at risk of extinction. Over 300 species of birds, plants and moths are nationally Threatened, Rare and Declining in Yorkshire, and/or have a large part of their range or population in Yorkshire!
