Speak up for rewilding and nature recovery!
YRN would like your help to tell every serving politician in Yorkshire:
- how important nature recovery is
- how rewilding can play a massive part in that recovery
- that you want government policies and action that enable nature to thrive
Below we give you some ideas on how to do that. Make it personal if you can, tell them why you care about biodiversity and climate change.
Remember: when humans want to, we change things for the better.

ZERO HOUR… The Climate and Nature Bill
A call for Real Change not soundbites!
On the 11th of July 2025, the Climate and Nature Bill (CAN) will return to the House of Commons. It is unlikely to progress without Government support.
Zero Hour, who lead the campaign for the Climate and Nature Bill, have launched 650 open letters – one for each UK constituency, and each addressed to the PM Sir Keir Starmer. They are urging supporters, who want the CAN Bill to progress, to sign the open letter for their constituency.

The Rewilding Manifesto – 30 by 30
In 2022, at the UN Biodiversity Summit (COP15), the UK made a formal commitment to protect and conserve a minimum of 30% of land and sea for biodiversity by 2030, known as 30×30.
The Rewilding Britain Rewilding Manifesto, which YRN supports, calls for this target to be delivered through rewilding.
