We know that climate change is already affecting the wildlife we love. In fact, in just a few weeks’ time RSPB will be publishing a new report looking at the effects of climate change on wildlife across Europe. Birds like kittiwakes and capercaillies, butterflies like the mountain ringlet, and mammals like Iberian lynx, are all under threat.
This news makes me want to do something about it! My marching outfit has been gathering dust in my wardrobe for far too long. The last time I wore it was Speak up for the love of, the climate change lobby of the new Westminster parliament back in June. But now I’m getting ready to don it again soon.
RSPB will be joining The Climate Coalition, and many others, at the People’s Climate March, for the love of the wildlife we care about.
This December, representatives from across the world will meet in Paris for some of the most important climate change negotiations in years. Their aim is to finalise a new global deal to save the climate. We’ll be marching to ask them to sign a positive and legally binding deal that will limit climate change and its effects on people and wildlife.
There will be marches across the UK, and indeed across the world. Cardiff and Belfast will have marches you’ll be able to go to.
You can sign up to join the RSPB on these marches in Edinburgh on Saturday 28 November or in London on Sunday 29 November. We hope we’ll see you there.
Matt Williams, Assistant Warden, RSPB Snape.
Save the climate!
