Vote for Oxfordshire's Nature
Join Oxfordshire’s environmental community in making nature a priority
Earlier this year, the Nature 2030 campaign called on all political parties to adopt five landmark policies for nature's recovery ahead of the 2024 General Election. We asked you to add your voice to this call, and you responded. Thank you.
Over 100,000 people signed the Nature 2030 open letter, showing incredible support for nature restoration. The letter has now been handed to major political parties. With the election approaching, we encourage voters to consider how candidates prioritise nature when casting their votes.
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.
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.
We've translated the national Nature 2030 campaign asks into five tailored actions for Oxfordshire:
1. More space for Oxfordshire's nature
2. Healthy nature for everyone
3. Nurturing Oxfordshire's green workforce
4. Supporting nature-friendly farming in Oxfordshire
5. Corporate responsibility for nature's recovery

How you can help
When voting, choose a future where Oxfordshire's landscapes and wildlife can thrive. Look for candidates who promise:
- Funding to protect and restore our natural environment
- Plans to actively involve local people in conservation decisions and efforts
- Commitment to collaborate with councils to implement nature-friendly policies
The changes we've seen over the past five years are a step in the right direction, but we need a giant leap. Nature is not a "nice to have". It's time for political parties to commit to our five-point plan for nature ahead of the next general election.
Join us in making sure nature gets the winning vote it deserves.
