Join the 100 charities demanding nature action from political leaders ahead of the General Election

Join well-known charities and celebrities in backing 5 landmark asks of political parties to put nature into recovery by 2030.

Nature 2030 campaign supporters:

The Nature 2030 campaign is supported by Steve Backshall, Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin and Mya-Rose Craig alongside 90+ nature organisations who are jointly backing these calls to political parties

Backing Nature 2030, naturalist and explorer Steve Backshall, says: “Everywhere I’ve travelled nature is on a knife edge. From the river at the bottom of my garden, to the bottom of the ocean, to the furthest reaches of the Amazon, I don’t know how much longer we have to save threatened wildlife and restore nature.

“Two years ago, I was pleased to welcome the Government’s legal target to stop wildlife losses here in England, but since then I’ve seen nothing like the scale of action needed to make it happen, just more political point-scoring. That’s why I’m backing the Nature 2030 campaign, and its five demands to turn things around. Nature isn’t a ‘nice thing to have’, it’s a necessity, and it’s time that all political parties stepped forward to deliver better for nature.”

Mya-Rose Craig, AKA Birdgirl, says:
“Environmental justice and social justice go hand-in-hand. After decades of failed promises for nature, it’s often the poorest and most marginalised communities who will face the worst effects of the climate and ecological crisis. We have to take action for nature if we want to take action for people. That’s why I’m supporting the Nature 2030 campaign for action to halt the decline of nature now, with its proposals for an Environmental Rights Bill and a new Nature Recovery Obligation to make big businesses who pollute pay to restore our environment. Vague green promises won’t cut it in this General Election.”
