To ask you to take urgent action to stop the UK government attacking nature

[Pricklesinperil]

Can I ask everyone to take action to support the PTES and the RSPB because legislation that protects nature in the UK is under attack.

The government is threatening to remove the various laws and policies that:

• protect our best wildlife sites, homes for myriad endangered species
• prevent unrestricted development, and
• help farmers support wildlife on their land

The implications of this are so profound that PTES is working with the RSPB and other wildlife charities to do what we can to stop it. Nature needs every support it can get in a hostile world in the midst of climate and biodiversity crises.

We want our politicians to understand how much we all care about protecting nature. The RSPB has created an easy way to demand action from your local MP. By following the link below you can find your local MP and send a simple letter calling for their support. You can amend it to your own words if you wish.

Please take this quick and easy opportunity to tell your MP today to urge the government to think again about the natural world.

Take action now

Number of people who have asked their MP to take action is currently 92,482

Scottish Government promise to protect nature from Downing Street ‘attacks’

Liz Truss must end her attacks on nature and reverse her plans to remove vital protections for nature, according to the Scottish Greens.
^^
^^
This follows criticisms from RSPB Scotland, who have condemned changes that they believe will undermine vital protections for nature by rolling back on commitments that were made while the UK was in the European Union.
^^
They are also concerned that proposed changes will make it easier for developments to go ahead in places that would damage wildlife and that so-called ‘Investment Zones’ could tear up fundamental protections for nature in certain areas.
^^
^^
The issue was raised at First Minister’s Questions (FMQs) by Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell, who has welcomed the First Minister’s commitment to continue fighting for nature.
^^
Commenting after FMQS, Mark Ruskell MSP said: “Liz Truss’s mini-budget has unleashed chaos on all of us, putting households across Scotland under acute pressure and stress. But it has also threatened to renege on vital protections for our natural world, developed over 40 years when we were part of the European Union.
^^
“There are concerns about the potential impacts on Scotland, but we also know that the natural world doesn’t end at the border. We all have an interest in governments across the UK and beyond investing in nature.
^^
^^
“With Scottish Greens in government we have secured record investment in wildlife and nature, with the groundbreaking nature restoration fund supporting vital projects all across Scotland. This stands in stark contrast to the environmental vandalism and attacks on nature that we have seen from Downing Street.
^^
“By acting now to restore nature, protect and enhance habitats and safeguard marine life, we can secure a better future for our nature, our planet and for future generations.”

Bumping as news as broken that the government has made a u-turn on plans to scrap 45p tax rate.
