Demand a Vote for Nature
Join Oxfordshire’s environmental community in asking our politicians to prioritise nature.
The Nature 2030 campaign is calling on all political parties, to adopt five landmark policies for nature’s recovery ahead of the 2024 General Election.
Here's the truth: our environment is in trouble.
The UK is one of the worst countries in the world for nature loss, with 15% of wildlife at risk of extinction.
In Oxfordshire, our cherished wildlife havens, such as meadows and woods, are slipping away. While there has been some slight improvement in our county's habitat over the last 5 years, it falls short of what's needed to tackle our significant challenges.
Bird species continue to decline, and shockingly, people in our most populated regions have limited or no access to nature.
Our rapidly developing county stands at a pivotal moment. Balancing the demands of both nature and our communities has never been more critical.
Nature's decline affects us all.
From health problems caused by air pollution to threats to agriculture due to declining pollinators and soil health, nature's decline has far-reaching consequences. Ensuring equal access to nature for all is not just about the environment; it's about creating a fair and healthy society. A thriving natural environment contributes to happier, healthier communities.

Oxfordshire’s Nature need you
The changes we've seen over the past five years are a step in the right direction, but we need a giant leap.
We've heard some promises, like the UK's commitment to protect wildlife and dedicate 30% of our land and sea for nature by 2030. But time is running out. Nature is not a "nice to have."
That's why we're asking politicians to adopt 5 big goals to save nature by 2030.

The commitments we need for nature
The commitments we need for nature:
A pay rise for farmers, doubling the support for farmers to make sure that they can deliver nature-friendly farming and nature restoration
Making polluters pay, ensuring that businesses have nature and climate plans in place and setting new duties to drive private investment in species and habitats recovery.
Making more space for nature, restoring more protected sites and landscapes by 2030, and creating a Public Nature Estate across England with the support of local and national partners.
Creating more green jobs, delivering widescale habitat restoration and creating green jobs in urban, rural and coastal habitats and in species recovery through a National Nature Service.
A Right to a Healthy Environment, establishing a human right to clean air and water and access to nature.
We’re calling on political parties to commit to our five-point plan for nature ahead of the next general election.
