Dear Sir or Madam,
please do more to save our threatened British wildlife like the
freshwater eel, crayfish, red squirrel, sea eagles
just to name a few as without help they will be gone for ever
please improve the countryside act by using it to create large
areas of habitats e.t.c wilderness areas for them to thrive
could you do more to reintroduce wildlife like beavers, sea eagles,
wild boar e.t.c all over the uk as this would enrich our
environment
many thanks
Yours faithfully,
Carl Holmes
