Calling nature lovers, Nature NGOs, their members, birdwatchers, river-swimmers, gardeners, ramblers, scientists and all concerned citizens.
Yorkshire’s wildlife charities, campaigners, nature lovers and their families are joining together on Thursday morning to protest at the government’s failure to address the deepening crisis in Nature, laid bare in the devastating State of Nature Report. They join more than 40 of the UK’s leading organsisations for nature advocacy. TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham is leading the direct call to the UK government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Scientists, wildlife experts, Nature charities, their members and many more will be lining the entrances to Defra offices in London, Bristol, Reading and York.

🐾 We need to ensure current and potential future political leaders know just how vital it is that we act urgently to protect and restore our living world.
🐾 Lawful, peaceful rallies are taking place at Defra offices across the UK: London, Bristol, Newcastle, Reading and York!
🐾 Bring flags, placards, flyers and your voices calling on the government to show leadership and Restore Nature Now
