Simply: YES
People are not interested in standing up for anything outside of their houses and driveways. People do not stop when they hit wildlife and do not care if the animal takes hours to die -"Shouldn't be on the road" is the usual response.
Mature growth trees chopped down ("unavoidable") -"so what?"
It is now declared that "five new towns" will be built around Bristol (we've already seen the damage one "new suburb" underway has done). NOT towns but in reality suburbs and guess where some will be built? Green sites and on traditionally wildlife rich areas because "they are pretty sites".
We are going to see an increase in wildlife and particularly badger, deaths during building due to site traffic and poisonous/hazardous materials left out. That is standard. Once pushed out of traditional clan territories WHERE will the badgers go? Onto the new builds where a developer will "get rid of them on the quiet"? Certainly you can be assured that new home owners will be driving their cars over or through wildlife.
Corrupt local authorities and corrupt governments don't care and they know that the great British 'animal loving' public will simply sit back and let them do what they want.
After 50+ years I can tell you that no matter how hard we battle the war is lost because in reality NO ONE really cares.
