Dear John,

The UK Government is failing to fulfil its pledge to manage 30% of the UK’s land and sea for nature, and hit its legally-binding target to halt wildlife decline by 2030.

Born Free is working with a collective of fellow organisations passionate about nature to call on all political parties to prioritise nature – and we need your help.

JOIN OUR FIGHT FOR NATURE 2030 ( [link removed] )

What is the Nature 2030 campaign?

Led by Wildlife and Countryside Link, of which Born Free is a member, Nature 2030 is a unified campaign to ensure that any future Government meets its legally binding target to halt wildlife decline by 2030, and manages 30% of the UK’s land and sea for nature. These are not our targets – these are targets Government set for itself and are designed to meet internationally-agreed targets for nature recovery to which the UK is committed, but as things stand, Government policy and delivery are nowhere near sufficient to meet these positive promises.

We are asking all political parties to prioritise nature and climate in their manifestos. Our Open Letter [hyperlink to open letter] to all political party leaders aims to secure commitment to the following Nature 2030 proposals from each political party ahead of the next General election:  

1. A pay rise for nature, doubling the budget for nature-friendly farming around the UK.  

2. A Nature Recovery Obligation driving private-sector investment in nature's recovery.  

3. A 30x30 rapid delivery programme, restoring protected sites and landscapes, and creating a Public Nature Estate to fulfil the promise to protect 30% of the land and sea for nature.  

4. A National Nature Service, delivering habitat restoration and creating green jobs.  

5. A Right to a Healthy Environment, a human right to clean air, water and access to nature.

By working together, we hope to secure bold action for nature and climate
in the next Parliament and beyond.
