Is the UK a world leader in nature decline?

Описание: Episode 67 - This week I sit amongst the elements and discuss a the claim 'The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on earth'. This seems to originate from the State of Nature report which uses the Natural History Museum's Biodiversity Intactness Index. The results, however, are vastly different form those of Yale University's Environmental Performance Index. The conclusion being that reductive statements are broadly unhelpful. What is 'Nature' anyway?
