Answer:
It’s easy to think nature will always be with us. But even in my lifetime, birds like starlings and house sparrows have declined so much they’re now listed as endangered.
In fact, nature is faring worse in the UK than in most other countries. The latest State of Nature report shows that over half our wild species – plants, insects, birds, mammals – are in decline.
Read on to find out more about nature. But before you do, we've got a special ask. Doubling the amount of tree cover in the UK will massively help British wildlife. More trees will also help us tackle the climate emergency because they absorb the planet-warming pollutants, like carbon dioxide. Please sign our petition to double tree cover in the UK. Thank you.

Overlooking the importance of nature, as we go about our busy lives, makes it easier for it to disappear right in front of our eyes.
It was great to see so many of you at Chris Packham's People’s Walk for Wildlife on Saturday 22 September. It was an important event to help us bring attention to the plight of wildlife across the UK. To bring back nature, we need to show people what they're losing.
