"Slowly but surely our politicians are starting to wake up to the environmental and wildlife crises facing our nation and the wider world. ''Scientific report after scientific report has been warning us for decades about the perilous state of our natural world. ''Now it's your opportunity to question our local parliamentary candidates about what they are doing or intending to do to help protect our environment.''
