What the petition asks
With Government at all levels of the UK recently declaring ecological and climate emergencies and with the Covid-19 pandemic now expected to increase unemployment to levels not seen in a generation. I believe the time is right for a Government funded employment and training National Nature Service.
Create a well funded employment programme offering living wage levels for quality training, education and work in conservation. It is vital that people of all ages must be given the option to join the service and are not forced.
The Service would work in partnership with conservation NGO's, Government Agencies and National Park Authorities.
Report after report bear witness to the destruction of the UK's natural world and we must take action to make a green and sustainable recovery a reality.
