Nature in the UK is in crisis. 38 million birds have vanished from our skies in the last 50 years. 97% of our wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s. ¼ of all mammals are at risk of extinction. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. 

But, nature is resilient, and we have just enough of the natural world left to help it recover.

The People’s Plan for Nature is a vision for nature in the UK and a roadmap for what we need to do to protect and renew it. The People’s Plan was created by the people of the UK. It started with ‘The National Conversation’ – a call for ideas about how we can save nature, which received nearly 30,000 responses. Then, 103 people with different backgrounds and experiences were randomly chosen to come together and form the People’s Assembly for Nature. Over four weekends between November 2022 and February 2023, the People’s Assembly learnt from experts about the nature crisis and together, created the People’s Plan.

The People’s Plan calls for urgent, immediate action – from governments, businesses, charities, organisations, farmers and communities – to fundamentally change how we value nature.
