Britain's nature is in crisis. We call on the UK's largest landowners to rewild.
The British countryside is dying. Our ‘green and pleasant’ land may look lush, but in reality the diversity of wildlife in Britain has dwindled to a terrifying low. Pollinator numbers are falling, ecosystems are beginning to collapse and species are dying out fast.
But how can this horror be happening in a nation of nature lovers? The answer is simple. Everyday citizens like us have lost control over the land we love.
With 50% of Britain’s land owned by less than 1% of its population it is billionaires, aristocrats, royalty and corporations who now decide the future of our landscapes and with it the future of our wildlife, our climate and our children.
Wild Card is here to change this. We are a citizens' movement mobilising thousands of ordinary people to call for the UK’s biggest landowners to rewild their lands before it’s too late.
We invite the UK’s ancient public landowners - such as the Crown Estates, The Church of England and the Ministry of Defence - to step into their role as stewards and fulfil their duty to restore the nature of our islands. Meanwhile we campaign for our government to grant communities the power to take control of their local landscapes and return them to the places of messy, abundant wildness that our ancestors would have known.
If you want to see a wilder and fairer Britain, then it's time to play the Wild Card…
