Following the BBC series Wild Isles, three conservation charities: the World Wildlife Fund, the National Trust and the RSPB came together for the first time to create a follow-up documentary saving our Wild Isles, again narrated by Attenborough. This resulted in a unique Save Our Wild Isles campaign and a crowdsourced set of recommendations for nature’s recovery in a People’s Plan for Nature.
The groups collected ideas from the 30,000 members of the public and brought people together in a hundred strong assembly to agree a shared vision on how to renew and protect nature.
The three most urgent actions the people want to see are:
- To put nature at the centre of decision making
- Farming subsidy systems to prioritize sustainable and nature friendly farming
- Greater government accountability through a permanent assembly for nature.
Decades of damage have pushed wildlife and habitats to the brink. 38 million birds have vanished from our skies in the last 50 years and 97% of wild flower meadows have been lost since the second world war. Experts believe that only 5% of UK land is effectively protected for nature.
