It's hard to know where disinterested expertise ends and vested interests begin, but might there be a genuine reason for the conservation charities to be concerned? Ecosystems are complex and you can't just transplant them from one place to another. Maybe there does need to be a way to protect certain areas that have important roles for species who need particular niches in particular areas. We do after all have a massive biodiversity crisis as well as everything else, and I think we can't just postpone dealing with it till the growth problem is fixed.
The high hopes I had for what Labour could achieve with their massive majority have been crushed by the realisation that the majority is made up of the sorts of people who become Labour MPs.
For every Dan Tomlinson you probably have 5 MPs who don’t really believe in growth and whose instincts are always to regulate more.
