Europe’s biggest conservation charity has taken the rare step of asking the public, including its members, to contact their MP over the current state of nature in the UK.

The National Trust is calling on people to join a campaign aimed at stopping the unravelling of nature protections and instead persuading Ministers to step up the pace to help British wildlife recover.

It comes as polling for the charity by the independent research agency More in Common reveals that the Government’s lack of action to restore nature is out of step with the priorities of the public. From a survey of 4,000 people, 6 in 10 said the Government cares less about restoring nature than they do personally, and only a fifth said the Government’s care toward nature is in line with their own.
