Call on the Government to take urgent action
Wondering where all the butterflies have gone? You're not alone.
In 2024, we've seen butterfly numbers fall across the UK. With 80% of butterflies having declined since the 1970s and a third of moth numbers having fallen in that same period, the time has come to tell the Government enough is enough.
Our message to Government
We're calling on the Government to:
- Declare a nature emergency
- Implement an immediate and permanent ban on butterfly-harming neonicotinoid pesticides, without exceptions.
If you agree, sign our letter and join leading conservation figures in calling on the Government to take action now. The petition will close on Sunday 13 October.
