Get ready to speak up for nature!

A General Election is set for 4 July 2024 and it's crucial that nature's voice is heard. This General Election is incredibly 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 and the incoming Government will be responsible for turning this around.

You can ensure nature is given the priority it deserves - whether you are a voter or a candidate, you've come to the right place!
