#DefendNature: We Need You

No Nature. No Future.

Nature faces a deepening crisis and its recovery is fundamental to tackling climate change and improving people’s lives.

A healthy and safe natural world brings huge benefits to people, as well as to wildlife.

We need widespread movement across our glorious county to drive change at the pace and scale now necessary, spearheaded by our elected representatives with communities taking action in ways that are peaceful, practical and positive - and the time to act is now. 

Join us in calling on all political parties to halt and reverse the trend - and show that more people care about the state of their natural environment than ever before. 

How you can help: step-by-step
