Plans for 12 new 'nature improvement areas' are planned for England. It's one of many proposals outlined in the Government's blue print for natural environment. It covers everything from wildlife, rivers and forests to improving the balance of wildlife on farmed land. The action plan called the 'Natural Choice' is the first White Paper of its kind in 20 years. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman outlines how the proposals will help prevent the loss of endangered species and biodiversity across the country. Also in the programme, a 大象传媒 opinion poll reveals that 63% of those questioned in the UK would be opposed to a cull of badgers. One alternative to the cull is vaccination. The four year project is being carried out on farms in Gloucestershire and on an estate in Devon. Reporter, Sarah Swadling follows the team carrying out the trial.
