There is great news, as England is set to create a 'super nature' reserve!
The UK Government has announced that a new super nature reserve is to be created in Somerset, in England.
The new nature reserve to be created is called a super national nature reserve. This national nature reserve in Somerset will protect 6,140 hectares of wetlands, heath and saltmarches, which is great news to hear.
This new super nature reserve in Somerset will not only protect ecosystems but will also protect a large population of wildlife.
The new reserve is home to many different species, and therefore, it will protect many different species - which is great news for our natural world.
These are some of the species that this new reserve will protect -
. Skylarks
. Bitterns
. Hairy Dragonflies
. Raft Spiders
These are just some of the many species that will be protected and have a home with this new super nature reserve in Somerset.
Creating reserves like this one is great news during a time when we are living through a biodiversity crisis - where species are declining and ecosystems are being destroyed, creating new protected reserves like this is much needed.
This announcement to create a new super nature reserve in England is important for our natural world, as it will help in the recovery of nature.
We need more new rewilding projects like this in the UK to help nature recover and stop the decline in nature across the UK - the devolved administrations working with the UK Government to help nature can also help to restore our wildlife.
