The worrying rate of loss of our wildlife - 60% of species have declined in recent decades

The latest news about food, farming and the countryside. Anna Hill hears from scientists warning that 60% of our wildlife species have declined in numbers over recent decades.

The worrying rate of loss of our wildlife. Anna Hill hears from scientists warning that 60% of our wildlife species have declined in numbers over recent decades. This is according to the State of Nature report - a landmark audit of our natural environment by a coalition of wildlife organisations.

Anna Jones revisits her father's sheep farm in Shropshire to hear how he is coping two months after the disastrous spring snow. And Anna Hill visits a plant breeder in Norfolk to hear about the UK's bedding plant industry.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Weatherill in Bristol.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
