2024 UK General Election
What we're calling for
There will be a general election before January 2025 and it's crucial that nature's voice is heard. This General Election is important for wildlife and wild spaces across the UK, and beyond. The UK is already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, the incoming Government will be responsible for turning this around.
We are calling upon all political parties to commit to a plan to finally halt and reverse this trend. Their policies must be targeted towards species recovery, addressing water pollution and funding wildlife-friendly farming, We want these asks to ensure all parties stand on a platform with nature’s recovery at its heart.
It has never been more evident that people care more about the state of their natural environment than ever before. With a general election on the horizon, it’s time politicians heard that message.

End river pollution and water scarcity
The UK is ranked as one of the worst countries in Europe for water quality, with pollution beyond legal limits caused by a toxic cocktail of sewage and agricultural pollution.

Fund wildlife-friendly farming
By supporting farmers to shift towards regenerative, nature-friendly methods, farming has huge potential to deliver a green rural renewal.
