We the undersigned ask the UK government to reduce the influx of people into the UK, from 500K a year to at most 100K a year.
Reasons:
-The UK is an Island.
-We have an overly large human population of 62million which is growing.
- Scientific surveys are showing that species, such as: Bumble bees, Corncrakes, Bats, Crickets, Ground Beetles, Wildcats, Dormice, Starlings, Sparrows, Woodpeckers, Warblers, Hedgehogs, and many plantsare threatened by, and going extinct due to habitat loss through human construction.
-As people arrive, more houses, roads, schools, shops, airports, golf courses,will be built. This will destroy remaining wildlife habitat, like grass lands, ponds, bogs and woods.
-Since 1930, 98% of wildflower meadows, that are bumble bee habitat have been lost to farming, and development.
We urge the government to reduce immigration into the UK as wildlife has a right to thrive here.

The current level of engagement has prompted a formal request for a meeting with the relevant government office. I am currently drafting the briefing documents to substantiate the link between housing development and habitat loss.

We must give wildlife priority. Continuous development and building plus intensive farming using chemicals is causing untold pollution And habitat loss. We must preserve what's left as a priority we need to look at how we live and how we cause flora and fauna degradation or conversely population explosion because we inadvertently provide a food/habitat source. Eg urban foxes. Then we destroy the animal we don't adjust how we live at all!!!
This government has a duty to look after all our wildlife . If we don't and they don't there will be nothing left for future generations.Apathy is a dangerous thing. We share this earth with many others, plants, animals, insects etc that have have much right to be here too. If we are not careful we will end up with an environment of concrete and Tarmac.
This government are killing all our wildlife and the environment. They are the worst government ever for green issues. Can't wait to see the back of all of you, especially Paterson!
This is equally important as climate change, wildlife etc is crucial to life itself, we all depend on each other.
We have to stop somewhere or do we keep building over all open land onto the beeches and then on stilts over the sea
:(
Theres not enough housing for our children now let alone our grandchildren. We worry about people coming here and there culture but our own culture and way of life has been totally destroyed. Our childrens schooling is being ruined and held up because the other classmates need help with translation.. so our kids futures and in jeopardy while the immigrants have a better quality of life.. what right have migrants got to jump the housing que.s

We seem to think that only we humans are important to the world. We are going to leave nothing behind eventually, only concrete and houses.
