Unnatural England?

Natural England are supposed to look after that country's 'wild' locations. They are charged, for example, with protecting Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI's). SSSI's are designated, protected areas with particular concentrations of important (often endangered) animals, fungi and plants. It appears that farming interests, especially in areas like Dartmoor, are hoping to have Natural England stripped of its protective powers over SSSI's (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/24/fears-natural-england-may-lose-powers-amid-row-with-dartmoor-farmers). The main source of the farmer's discontent, is that Natural England have asked for stocking densities of sheep to be reduced on or near SSSI's. Overgrazing is seriously damaging to many natural environments. Some 'senior' Members of Parliament (MPs) of the UK's current ruling party are now advocating that Ministers should take decisions on the management of SSSI's. Ministers, of course, are likely to be less interested in wildlife, than in getting political and financial support from large landowners. This would be a very bad move. The 'woolly maggots' would run riot!
