Dear Supporter,
We’re all united by our love of the countryside, nature and the environment – but we need politicians to act to make sure it’s there for future generations. That was the message we heard loud and clear at The Time Is Now – the mass lobby of MPs for people, nature and the environment.
On 26 June, thousands of people descended on Westminster to tell our MPs why it's so important to take bold, urgent action on climate change and to restore our natural environment.
The government has already committed to ending the UK’s contribution to climate change by 2050 – but we urged them to be more ambitious, and commit to 2045.
CPRE campaigners, volunteers and supporters like you helped make this the biggest mass lobby on the environment in British history, and made sure MPs heard the voice of the countryside loud and clear. Read our blog for more info, and to find out what rickshaws had to with it all!
Can you imagine a countryside without charismatic wildlife such as red squirrels or turtle doves, or the insect pollinators that underpin our agriculture? This could be our future if we don’t act, according to a new report on the threats to biodiversity across the globe.
By changing the way we farm, protecting our soils, restoring nature and tackling climate change with nature-based solutions like planting trees, we can reverse this trend. Find out how we’re working to turn the tide on nature loss.
