Sussex Wldlife Trust and our Future!

The Sussex Wildlife Trust, and all other wildlife trusts in the country, are calling for support for nature in our lifetimes, indeed, they want nature to be 'restored by 2030' (website)! They are calling on all political leaders to make 5 electoral pledges to 'save nature.' That is, they are asking that all political parties support these 5 pledges (below), cut & pasted from their website, and a petition is included too (website):

💰 A pay rise for nature

Farmers need greater support to help nature and manage over 70% of UK land - we want to see double the current budget for nature-friendly farming in future. 

🏭 Make polluters pay

Business - from companies working finance to retail to energy  - all contribute to nature’s decline and should contribute to nature’s recovery. 

🏞️ More space for nature

Just 3% of the land and 8% of English waters are properly protected for nature. We want rapid action to expand and improve protected areas, and ensure public land and National Parks contribute more to recovery.

🤝 A National Nature Service

We want lots of helping hands if nature is to recover quickly and at scale: a 'National Nature Service' would create thousands of green jobs as well as a healthier society.

🌳 A right to a healthy environment 

Limited access to nature and pollution in the air and water affects everyone’s health: An 'Environmental Rights' Bill would drive better decisions for nature and improve public health.

I support the wildlife trusts 👍
