Nature's decline isn't inevitable - it's a political choice (www.rspb.org.uk)

Today we've published a new report calling on the Prime Minister to change course on nature. The report sets out how the nature crisis is putting the UK's security, prosperity and wellbeing at risk and what the Government can do about it.

Nature keeps our economy running, our communities healthy and our country resilient. Yet species are disappearing, habitats are being lost and many of the places that should be protected for wildlife are under threat.

Our new report, Nature on the Edge: What we're losing and why it matters, makes the case that nature's decline is not inevitable, but the result of political choices that can still be reversed. And it sets out why politicians should care – because the public does.
