Goal 1: Nature is in recovery with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder land and seascapes where people and nature thrive.

Nextdoor Nature was a funded project by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to leave a lasting natural legacy in honour of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Nextdoor Nature gave people the skills, tools, and opportunity to help wildlife flourish near them.

Everyone, everywhere, should be able to grow up, and grow old, with nature.

The Nature and Wellbeing Act was a proposed piece of legislation to bring about the recovery of nature in a generation, for the benefit of people and wildlife. Drafted by The Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB, and supported by over 20 partner organisations, we ran a joint public campaign asking politicians to Act for Nature. Over 9,000 people contacted their MPs about the Act (including every MP in England) before Parliament was dissolved on 31 March ahead of the 2015 General Election.

Remaining wildlife-rich places, and new areas where nature could recover, need to be identified, mapped and protected. 

Despite warm words and consistent encouragement, government action to bring nature back to everyone's lives is seriously lacking.

The Wildlife Trusts are working in partnership with National Highways to improve habitats across England benefitting people, nature and wildlife.
