Rewild 1/3 of UK waters and 1/3 of UK land

Closed 141 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should commit to rewilding 1/3 of our national waters and 1/3 of the UKs land. These reserves would be protected from any fishing, forestry and any industry.
We have not yet halted biodiversity and habitat loss. The country and our waters must become sustainable, the sooner we reach this balance the stronger our country will be and the less suffering and global destruction will occur. We could be a world leader on biodiversity and fighting climate change.
