ACTION ALERT: CALL FOR ACTION TO PROTECT WILDLIFE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION

Hello John,

The UK General Election is just a few short weeks away. However, despite the crisis facing biodiversity - a crisis that ultimately impacts us all - the protection of our precious wildlife and the welfare of both free-living and captive wild animals have barely featured in the election debates.

It’s vital that we ensure parliamentary candidates from all political parties understand that, while animals don’t have votes, we do, and that their approach to nature protection and the welfare of animals will influence how we cast our votes.

To this end, we’re giving you the chance to reach out to the prospective parliamentary candidates in your constituency, to raise the key wildlife issues that you want to see your future Member of Parliament prioritise.

EMAIL YOUR LOCAL CANDIDATES

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We have created a template email, addressed to your prospective candidates, which you can complete by including any, or all, of seven key priorities taken from Born Free’s UK Wildlife Conservation and Animal Welfare Manifesto, which we published last year.

All you have to do is fill in your details, and select the priorities you’d like to feature. You’ll have the chance to add to or edit the email with your own additional priorities if you wish, and then you just need to click SEND NOW. The message will automatically be sent from your email address to the candidates who are registered to run in your constituency, and you will receive a copy in your inbox.

WRITE TO YOUR PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES NOW

We would, of course, be very interested to hear of any replies you receive from candidates, so please consider forwarding them to [email protected].

We have also created a print-friendly list of questions concerning nature and wildlife to ask your local candidates at the doorstep or at any local hustings event you attend.

Thank you for everything you do for wild animals, and please look out for further communications from us in relation to the general election.
