Some of our most vulnerable wildlife and our most important habitats face potentially devastating impacts from proposals for new airports or runways in the UK.
Even areas like the Thames estuary are threatened. This wetland home for 300,000 migratory birds, where mudflats and marshes teem with life, has such high international importance that it has the greatest levels of protection possible.
The Government’s independent Commission on aviation expansion and airport capacity has been impartial and objective so far, but several of the 50 or so proposals they have received are very worrying, given the impact they would have on important habitats and our climate.
The Commission has called for comments on the proposals so we now have a brief window of opportunity to encourage them to take our environment, nature and climate into consideration as they narrow these proposals down to a short-list.
