Environment Secretary rules out reintroduction of lynx and wolves
Thérèse Coffey MP said that she will not support the reintroduction of wolves and lynx to the British countryside.

Farmers offered reassurance at the NFU conference in Birmingham.

During her address at the National Farmers Union (NFU) conference, Thérèse Coffey MP said that she will not support the reintroduction of wolves and lynx to the British countryside.

As MP for Suffolk Coastal, she witnessed first hand the conflict between conservation and the countryside, when a proposed reintroduction of the sea eagle caused concern with local farmers.

Coffey said: “I don’t want farmers to constantly have to worry about these issues.

“We have got plenty to do with the habitats that need improving and expanding.”
