I'm guessing that you probably do, given that you are reading this blog! We do too and we are worried - that is why we are holding a Rally for Nature in London on Tuesday 9 December and we would love you to join us.
Sadly, despite the well-documented decline in our nature, and cases of wildlife crime occurring right across the UK, nature remains low on the political agenda, even with an election just around the corner. This is your opportunity to tell your MP why nature matters so much to all of us.
The RSPB, Wildlife Trusts, League Against Cruel Sports and Dr Mark Avery - supported by Butterfly Conservation, Ramblers and the Mammal Society - are organising a Rally for Nature at Church House Conference Centre and the Houses of Parliament.
We will be calling on politicians to defend existing laws that protect our most important sites for nature; to bring an end to wildlife crime; and to establish a Nature and Wellbeing Act to ensure that nature is brought into the very heart of decision-making.
It does not matter if you have never been to the Houses of Parliament or met your MP before, as we will give you all of the help and advice you need. There will be speakers, light refreshments, the chance to ask questions and meet up with other supporters from your constituency. To find out more about the day and book your place - go to the Rally for Nature page.
With Christmas only a few weeks after the lobby, why not make a day of it in London and take in some carols by candlelight or go ice-skating in Hyde Park?
If you do want to join us, please register as soon as possible. Places are free but will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Once you have registered we will send you a pack containing more information and advice.
Let's make 2015 the year that all political parties take nature seriously.
Living in the East End of London (Newham) a lot of emphasis is placed on affordable housing and development of shops. I have realised that no consideration is placed on how such developments are affecting the local wildlife. I have written a letter to the local MP regarding the Nature Act and received a response. The MP stated that climate change and habitat loss is to blame but no mention of constant development which is clearly wiping our green spaces of the face of the Earth. The letter is more political than a heart felt concern...to win votes and nothing more.
