Temporary approval for banned neonicotinoids that harm bees will also be stopped, it says.

Labour’s shadow environment secretary, Steve Reed, said: “The next Labour government will protect and restore nature, safeguarding our beautiful countryside for future generations to experience and enjoy.”

The Liberal Democrats said they had “credible policies” to double the amount of land that is protected and managed for nature by 2050.

Tim Farron, the party’s spokesperson for the environment, said: “We need to double the amount of land that is protected and managed for nature, doubling the most important habitats, and importantly doubling the species in these areas.”

No detailed budgeting has yet been produced for the parties’ plans to protect UK wildlife.

Plaid Cymru said an increase in public investment would be “essential for managing land, restoring habitats, and supporting nature policies”.

The SNP has previously said it is committed to halting biodiversity loss by 2030.

The BBC has approached the Conservatives and SNP for comment on their election policies on tackling nature loss.
