Mandate a National Wildlife Habitat Protection Office certification body & law.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Councils, contractors & developers throughout the UK have an inherent conflict of interest when checking for the presence of protected wildlife living in their natural habitats & legislation is ill suited to proving negligence retrospectively, after habitats are destroyed for financial expediency.

A National Wildlife Habitat Protection Office is imperative to certify wildlife habitat genuinely void of life, prior to habitat destruction by local authorities, contractors & developers - eliminating conflicts of interest involved when checking for wildlife is solely required of those who stand to profit from reporting an absence of it.

Retrospective enforcement of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 is a virtual misnomer, as far as protecting wildlife & habitats, after their destruction.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about protecting wildlife habitats, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure how you'd like to change the law to better protect the habitats of protected wildlife.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
