## Resource

A recent article stated that there have been no new SSSIs (Sites of special scientific interest) designated since 2023, leaving important areas vulnerable to developments from housing and industry. The guys give their thoughts on this, the designation process and we learn about Negus' recent exploits as a demonstrator.
