Rejected

What the petition asks
Chris Packham is a role model and environment champion for nature and the natural world. He is a broadcaster, writer and lobbyist. He also raises awareness of neuro diversity, having autism himself. Chris should be officially recognised for his life long dedication to nature and the environment
By awarding Chris Packham a knighthood, he will be recognised for his lifelong work in nature, the environment, broadcasting and writing. He should also be recognised for his efforts during the Covid pandemic when he set up the self isolating bird club. Many people see Chris as a figurehead for nature and a knighthood would cement this reputation
