The National Trust says this year's weather is a stark illustration of the challenges facing nature.
2022 saw high temperatures, drought, back-to-back storms and a cold snap in the winter
The charity said high temperatures, drought and back-to-back storms have created major challenges for nature.It said this year was a "stark illustration" of the difficulties many UK species could face without more action to tackle climate change. Wildfires on National Trust land scorched areas such as Zennor Head, Cornwall, Bolberry Down in south Devon, Baggy Point in north Devon and Studland in Dorset, destroying homes of species including rare sand lizards.The dry conditions impacted natterjack toads, whose shallow ponds for breeding dried up, and bats that had to be rescued in the heatwave.
