Defra Biodiversity Survey

The results of a recent survey on knowledge and attitudes towards the environment by Defra show that 92% of respondents said that it is important to hace green spaces nearby and 56% said they use them at least once a week.

The survey also showed that 48% of respondents had some knowledge of biodiversity, up from 44% in 2009. When prompted, 78% agreed that they worry about the loss of native animals and plants and about changes in the countryside. Volunteering had been carried out by 13% in the previous 12 months.
