Central London march: Restore Nature Now!
Saturday 22 June 1.00pm
Park Lane to Parliament Square
The Restore Nature Now march is supported by a diverse group of dozens of wildlife and environment organisations (including the RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, The Climate Coalition, WWF-UK, National Trust, WWT, Woodland Trust, Wildlife and Countryside Link, Rewilding Britain, Extinction Rebellion and Chris Packham) who are united in our demand to #RestoreNatureNow
The next generation deserves a world free from the threat of climate catastrophe and where nature is thriving. The next General Election could be a turning point for our natural world and so together we’re calling on politicians of all parties to act now for people, nature and climate. Action now is vital to put nature into recovery and halve emissions by 2030.
We will be gathering at Park Lane, London, W1K, between midday and 1pm on Saturday 22 June 2024.
From there the march will take a predetermined route through the city before ending in Parliament Square.
There will be family friendly performance art, sculptures, singing and more for added entertainment for our marchers. The march will be wheelchair accessible and BSL interpreted. For access information, please contact
The culmination of the march will see a central ‘rally’ in Parliament Square at around 2.30pm. This will see well-known names and faces speaking to marchers about the political and policy changes we need to see to finally turn the tide for the environment and Restore Nature Now.
Aims
A pay rise for nature
Farmers manage 70% of UK land and have a huge role to play in supporting environmental recovery. But they need more support. We want to see the nature and climate-friendly farming budget doubled.
Make polluters pay
Big businesses; from water, to retail, to energy, all further environmental decline. We want new rules to make them contribute to nature and climate recovery, and an end to new fossil fuels.
More space for nature
Just 3% of English land and 8% of waters are properly protected for nature and wildlife. To meet UK nature and climate commitments we need to expand and improve protected areas, and ensure public land and National Parks contribute more to recovery.
A right to a healthy environment
Limited access to nature, and pollution in the air and water, affects everyone’s health. We’re calling for an Environmental Rights Bill which would drive better decisions for nature, improve public health and access to nature.
Fair and effective climate action
We cannot save nature without solving the climate crisis. We want investment in warm homes and lower bills by increasing home energy efficiency, supporting active travel and public transport, and replacing polluting fossil fuels with affordable renewables to ensure we at least halve UK emissions by 2030.
