Nature and wildlife
Most people in the UK love nature, yet even in a rural place like Derbyshire, including in the Peak Park, it is declining rapidly. House building on green field sites (rather than within existing settlements), road building, quarrying – all these contribute to the decline of nature and reduce the green spaces which are essential for our well-being.
