The boards overseeing England’s national parks are bloated, dominated by white men and are severely lacking in diversity. Farmers outnumber conservation experts by two to one and nature is rarely on the agenda at board meetings.
Agenda items specifically related to nature appeared in only 7 of the last 30 meetings. Four park boards had no nature-related agenda items at all!
Why doesn't this surprise me?
