Hilary Benn, the government''s environment minister, has suggested that the review should prove to be an illuminating one.

He commented: "This review will see whether further action is needed to protect and enhance our range of wildlife sites so that nature can continue to thrive in a changing climate."
The review is scheduled to reveal its findings by June of next year.
Commenting in his recent Darwin Lecture, Mr Benn outlined the need for countries across the world to ensure that biodiversity is preserved.
