The new law proclaims that the offenders when caught won&#8217;t be valid to claim incidental damage as a defense. It specifically states that, the killing, capturing, disturbing, damaging or destroying a breeding or resting place of any protected species will be tried under the law. The new regulations extend the laws to cover protection of marine species, wild birds, and habitats till 200 nautical miles from the shore.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Abbatt of ADAS, which is an environmental advisory company, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People need to be aware of these changes. No longer will it prove an adequate defence to suggest that damage to any European protected species or their habitat was accidental, or due to lack of knowledge of the existence of a species on a specific site. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also emphasized on the fact that an environmental survey on a large scale needs to be undertaken before implying any rules and work. Enlisted below are the species under flora and fauna that have been included in protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>European Protected Species found in UK<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Bats, Horseshoe (all species) Rhinolophidae<br \/>\nBats, Typical (all species) Vespertilionidae<br \/>\nCommon Otter Lutra lutra<br \/>\nDolphins, porpoises and whales (all species) Cetacea<br \/>\nDormouse (but not edible or fat dormouse) Muscardinus avellanarius<br \/>\nGreat crested newt (or warty) Triturus cristatus<br \/>\nLarge Blue Butterfly Maculinea arion<br \/>\nMarine Turtles Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Lepidochelys kempii, Eretmochelys imbricate, Dermochelys coriacea<br \/>\nNatterjack Toad Bufo calamita<br \/>\nSand Lizard Lacerta agilis<br \/>\nSmooth Snake Coronella austriaca<br \/>\nSturgeon Acipenser sturio<br \/>\nWild cat Felis silvestris<\/p>\n<p><strong>European Protected Plants found in UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creeping Marshwort<br \/>\nEarly Gentian<br \/>\nFen Orchid<br \/>\nFloating leaved water Plantain<br \/>\nKillarney Fern<br \/>\nLady&#8217;s Slipper<br \/>\nShore Dock<br \/>\nSlender Naiad<br \/>\nYellow Marsh Saxifrage<\/p>\n<p>Also, it was announced that the Joint Nature Conservation Committee will consult on the first seven draft sites later this year to get a review of the situation.
