She mentioned that there has been a 50% reduction in the snipe population. I assume this is due to drainage of wetland, loss of wetland and loss of habitat, as one of the issues. She spoke about proper agri-environment schemes and what a new green deal would look like. Can she give examples of agri-environment schemes or farming for nature or farming for biodiversity schemes which have successfully resulted in an increase in biodiversity, an increase in bird species, successfully capturing carbon and also helping to keep money in farmers' pockets?

There are so many more questions and it is very difficult to get them into two minutes. If the witnesses could start with them, that would be great.
