Prohibit the cutting down of primary forests.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Place a ban through legislation on any UK company cutting down or enabling another company to cut down primary forests. Positively encourage the protection of primary forests globally by motivating other countries to follow suit.
Once they are gone they are gone forever!

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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see more protections for primary forests, but beyond banning the cutting down of these forests, we're not sure what actions you want banned, when you refer to "enabling another company to cut down primary forests".

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