One of the biggest habitat restoration schemes in Europe is under way in Cambridgeshire to create a vast fenland the size of a city.

An £8.9 million lottery grant, the biggest ever for restoring a natural wildlife sanctuary, has been agreed for the Great Fen Project.

Thousands of species of animals and plants will benefit from the project, which is intended to turn more than 3,000 hectares (7,400 acres) of farmland into fenland.
