The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent steps she has taken to protect 30% of land for nature by 2030.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The UK Government is committed to protecting 30% of land and sea in the UK by 2030 (30by30). We are developing a 30by30 Delivery Plan for land and inland water areas, which will set out how we will lead, support, and inspire action across England to deliver this vision. We will publish the 30by30 Delivery Plan in due course.
