National Parks are incredibly important to wildlife in England and Wales. They contain many rare species and are internationally recognised for their importance. However National Parks are not bucking the decline of wildlife we see across England and Wales.
Diverse and abundant nature is important for many reasons including:
- Mitigating and adapting to climate change
- Managing flood risk
- Enhancing the beauty of the landscape
- Recreation and the rural economy
Reversing the decline of wildlife in National Parks is not simple or easy. There are many pressures on the landscape in National Parks, however we believe the current state of nature is not good enough and more can and should be done.
Help us fight for nature in National Parks
Decreasing wildlife is an urgent and critical issue. If we don’t act now future generations might never experience iconic species in our National Parks. With your support we can make a difference.
We are the only independent national charity dedicated to protecting and improving the National Parks. Join our fight to make sure National Parks are alive with bees, birds and beetles, landscapes are diverse and the wild can be experienced by everyone.
