Management measures for widely spread Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in England and Wales
Invasive alien species challenge the survival of some of our rarest species, and damage some of our most sensitive ecosystems.

The purpose of this consultation is to obtain your views on the management measures being considered by Defra and... MoreOpened 18 July 2019 -
Measures to reduce personal water use
Climate change, population increases, environmental requirements and a growing demand for water will mean that, in the future, there will be substantial pressure on surface and groundwater supplies, less water available per person and a significant likelihood of more frequent, severe droughts. It is vital that we maintain sustainable supplies of water for future generations. This will involve both increasing supply and reducing demand. Reducing the amount of water that we all...

Proposal for an alternative method for ageing sheep at slaughter
We want your views on our proposal to amend English and Welsh legislation on ageing sheep for the removal of certain body parts at slaughter.

At present abattoirs count the number of a sheep’s permanent teeth to decide its age. Under our proposal, they would also have the option of a system based on... MoreOpened 19 September 2019 -
