Take Climate action for wildlife

Climate action

The time is now - will you help us?

The UK is facing a climate and nature emergency.

Climate change is the biggest threat to wildlife, people and nature. We've seen evidence of this in Staffordshire ranging from destructive floods to raging fires.

The Wildlife Trusts are calling forĀ atĀ leastĀ 30 per cent ofĀ our land and seaĀ to be connected and protected for natureā€™s recovery by 2030.

We need to fix and recover our broken ecosystems, so they can help stabilise our climate. Investment in nature and repairing the natural world is key to a wilder future. Back in 2021 we made this video so explore how restoring natural solutions in a variety of habitats is a vital part of tackling climate change.Ā 

We can't do it alone

At Staffordshire Wildlife Trust we continually work to restore natural ecosystems and mitigate climate change, as well as campaigning for national climate action but we can't do it alone. Ā We also need decision makers, communities, businesses and everyone else to come along with us and that includes you!

Combating climate change can feel overwhelming, and it can be difficult to know where to start. However, just carrying out small actions can make a big impact in helping to repair the natural world. Weā€™ve put together some tips on how you can play your part in climate action locally, just head to the page linked below.Ā 

Together, we can create a wilder future!

What are Staffordshire Wildlife Trust doing to help

We are calling on the Government to put nature at the heart of the UK's action on climate change. Without nature, we have no future.

Healthy natural landscapes can take in carbon and store it, whilst damaged habitats release carbon into the atmosphere. Only by integrating climate action with natureā€™s recovery can we achieve a wilder future.

Our work to restore natural ecosystems at scale is enlisting nature's help to fight the climate crisis on the ground.Ā
