16-08-2007 15:28

'Don't sacrifice Europe's wildlife for agrofuel expansion' email alert
07-08-2007 20:29
Please take part in an email alert to tell Europe's politicians not to sacrifice our birds and insects for agrofuel expansion. Europe's farm bird populations have declined by nearly 50% since 1980, mainly due to intensive agriculture. 45% of our butterflies are at risk of extinction. Many of our surviving bird population now rely heavily on set-asides. The European Commissioner now wants to scrap all set-asides to open up more land for intensive farming, with no protection for the wildlife at risk.
