The election results are in! So, what’s next for nature? | The Wildlife Trusts ( www.wildlifetrusts.org )

Throughout the election campaign, it became clear that people know that our natural world is in crisis and want politicians to make the bold and ambitious commitments to reverse the decline. So with the results now in, what does it mean for nature?

Shortly after the general election was announced, The Wildlife Trusts commissioned a poll1 to gauge whether the public think political parties are doing enough to tackle the nature and climate crises and how important environmental issues will be in deciding their vote.

It revealed that the environmental policies offered by candidates play a big role in swaying people’s vote when they enter the polling station. Almost four in 10 said they will vote based on environmental issues and most people consider environmental issues to be at least as important as other issues facing the country.
