The Law

At long last, water voles get full legal protection: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3440808.ece
and
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7260000/newsid_7264200/7264289.stm
I've become aware recently of how much attention is given to great crested news and their habitat, the tight restrictions on planners, and the huge fines for those who harm this species of amphibian. If water voles can get half as much help, they'll be doing well.
