An SOS for nature
Everyone has a part to play
The UK’s wildlife is amazing – but it’s in crisis. Over the last 50 years, 38 million birds have vanished from our skies, 97% of our wildflower meadows have been lost, and a quarter of all our mammals are now at risk of extinction.
We can’t just stand aside and watch this devastation continue. That’s why Save Our Wild Isles is the first major joint campaign from WWF-UK, the RSPB and the National Trust, calling on our leaders to immediately halt to the destruction of UK nature and take urgent action for its recovery.
Together, we can all play our part to protect our natural world – our life support system. Tell your MP to stand up for nature today! If enough of us take action, then we can’t be ignored.
What we're asking for
There is just enough of the UK’s natural world still left to save, and if everyone – the public, communities businesses and leaders all urgently work together to aid its recovery, nature can begin to thrive again within the next few decades. We’re calling for:
- Everyone to act now for nature: making space for it, helping it in our everyday lives, and speaking up on its behalf. If enough of us demonstrate a love for nature that's impossible to ignore, our leaders will listen and act.
- Businesses to put nature at the heart of every boardroom decision. Companies must publish their plans to become ‘nature positive’, just as many have for net zero.
- Our leaders to implement a crisis response to the nature emergency across all four nations, that will deliver faster on the promises they’ve made to halt the destruction of nature and speed its recovery.
