One in three Brits had admitted to doing nothing to support or protect struggling UK wildlife - despite nearly 9 in 10 saying they’re worried about its decline.

According to a British Wildlife Insights 2025 report, compiled by biodiversity and ecology consultants Arbtech, nearly a third of Brits are taking no action to help wildlife in their local areas.

33% of participants said they took no action to support wildlife, with a further 13% say they had no plans to ever take action. This was despite 88% of participants reporting to be concerned about the ongoing reduction of wildlife in the UK

where else are they building these hundreds of thousands of houses except over the natural habitats of our already densely populated island? the solution is as easy as not letting the population skyrocket for the benefit of people wanting more numbers in the bank while we and our land bear the price of it
