On 3rd October 2019, the latest State of Nature Report was launched. Despite some wonderful conservation success stories, the findings of this report, compiled by over 70 organisations in partnership, were alarming. Perhaps one of the most shocking headlines was that populations of the UK's most important wildlife have fallen by an average of 60% since 1970. The UK remains one of the most nature-depleted countries on earth, and things were not getting better.
During live talks, we have asked our audiences a critical question: Why is nature so important to human beings?
Surprisingly, people have found it extremely hard to answer this fundamental question.
So we put the same question out on social media, and guess what happened? It went viral and the responses came flooding in!
Whilst you enjoy and absorb the answers that were provided on Twitter, please help us understand what's going on.
In 2013, when we started getting the message out, concerning the state of UK nature, we were told that it was a waste of time because people simply didn't care! Six years on and we now have over 140,000 followers on social media and the majority of them certainly do seem to care! We are now also working on the ground across Birmingham and finding, once again, that the majority of people do care, when they receive the facts about the state of nature!
Once individuals become aware of the ecological crisis unfolding outside their windows, the next question tends to be "what can we do to make a difference?". So we worked with our followers and supporters to create "The People's #100Actions4Nature" which clearly demonstrates how everyone has the power to help restore nature through simple actions!
When we announced that we were planning to work closely with the business community, we were advised not to "because they were the problem"! So we spoke to business owners and guess what? The majority do care about nature and the health and wellbeing that parks and other open spaces bring to their neighbourhoods, and want to make a difference!
In association with:
Teamwork created The People’s #100Actions4Nature in response to the State of Nature Report 2019. Now it’s time for the people to come together again, on Sunday 27th October 2019 between 7pm and 9pm GMT, to share these actions and inspire more people to help restore UK nature.
We warmly invite you to join us on Twitter between those times and issue the following 100 tweets to your followers. Feel free to use and share the above banner to raise awareness of the online event.
If enough of us work together on Sunday, as a Team4Nature, there is a great chance that the #100Actions4Nature hashtag will trend on Twitter, getting our positive messages out to a massive audience.
