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?

Poll after poll shows people care deeply about wildlife and want it protected.
Instead, we’ve had months of nature-blaming rhetoric and pushes to sidestep environmental law.
This flies in the face not only of what the public wants...but the Government’s own manifesto.

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

It's Stir up Sunday but, as I wasn't here to soak the ingredients last night, I'll soak them tonight and make the pudding tomorrow. 8 hours is always such a lot of steaming! As you can tell, this recipe has been well used over the years.
