B-Lines

Urban Farm DB summary

An introduction to Buglife's 'B-Lines' initiative, which states that over 97% of the UK's flower-rich grasslands (an area the size of Wales) have been lost since the 1930s, and describes a nationwide network of flower-rich habitat 'stepping stones' linking existing wildlife areas across the countryside and towns. B-Lines have been mapped across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, with a target to create and restore at least 150,000 hectares of flower-rich habitat across the UK.

Only numbers and their conditions are stored, as structured data — never the source's own sentences. Metric and condition names stay in English, as coded.
