The Wildlife Trusts: Our priorities for the next UK Government

What we're calling for

The landmark 2023 State of Nature Report has shown that the UK – already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries in the world – is continuing to allow nature to decline.

The Wildlife Trusts 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, funding wildlife-friendly farming, enabling healthy communities, and tackling climate change.

Alongside Wildlife and Countryside Link’s Nature 2030 proposals, 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.
