Restoring an Ice Age “ghost” ponds is one of ten new schemes being launched to boost wildlife after an £8million fundraising campaign.
The Wildlife Trusts coalition has unveiled the new projects across England and Wales, that also include rewilding a village and transforming a 42-acre ex-golf course into an urban bee and butterfly oasis.

Sir David warned: “We are facing a global extinction crisis which has implications for every one of us.
