According to the UN-approved Biodiversity Intactness Index released in 2020, the UK is ranked an abysmal 218th out of 240 countries and indepedent territories i.e we lead the world in destroying the natural environment; we have an index of about 50% meaning we have retained only half of our original biodiversity. Wildlife populations too are plummeting; proposed developments such as the 10,000 houses at Wyboston all contribute this destruction.
