	Description:		The government has published its Environmental Improvement Plan. This outlines a raft of goals which it says lay the foundation stones to halt the decline of nature by 2030, and then reverse it. It includes targets to improve wildlife habitats; air and water quality; species protection; and an investment in creating 70 thousand jobs connected to the countryside and the environment. All week we're looking at rural poverty. Homelessness in rural areas is something that often remains hidden. We speak to an academic who's been researching the issue and a woman who was once homeless and now helps others. Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Rebecca Rooney
