Can you remember the last time you heard birds singing, the soothing call of a cuckoo echoing across the landscape or the chirp of crickets in the long grass? Nature’s song has provided the soundtrack to our countryside for centuries and its beauty has inspired us all.But there is a real danger that our countryside could fall silent.Since 1970, we have lost more than half of the UK’s cuckoos and skylarks, and a staggering 98% of our turtle doves. And it’s not just birds that are in trouble. More than half of the UK’s species are declining – including much-loved wildlife like hedgehogs and water voles – and many could soon be lost forever. The sad fact is that our nature is falling silent.It’s a shocking and sobering thought, but it’s not too late to save nature – if we act now.
The more of you who add your voices, the louder our call becomes. Take action today and help let nature sing.Join us and let nature sing.
