They treat nature like it has no voice.
But it does. Yours, ours, and millions more.
If you believe nature deserves better than this, make sure your MP hears it loud and clear:

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature!
I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

Great news this World Anteater Day (November 19th)!
A few years ago, a stretch of road in Brazil was dubbed the “Highway of Death”. One of the most dangerous roads in South America for drivers, it also claimed countless animal lives
