Will you help us bring back British wildlife?

UK nature is in decline, but together we can stop shadowy chemical companies poisoning the nature we love.

UK nature is in freefall.

The culprit? Shadowy chemical companies.

The nature we love is being poisoned by chemical companies who produce and sell toxic pesticides and fertilisers to farmers. These chemicals are killing bees and butterflies, starving swallows and hedgehogs to death and polluting our rivers. 

For nature to win, we are demanding a 50% reduction in agricultural chemical use by 2030. We need the government to support farmers in adopting nature-friendly practices that restore wildlife, protect ecosystems, and help future-proof their livelihoods.

Enough is enough. We refuse to sit back and let corporate greed destroy our beloved wildlife. Nature gives us so much – it’s time to give back.

A handful of giant agribusinesses have fuelled our dependency on fertilisers and ever-stronger pesticides, pushing these toxic and expensive chemicals as the default way to boost crop production.

Key facts

Biodiversity is plummeting

Birds, bees, butterflies and hedgehogs, some of our most iconic species, face a fight for survival. Pesticides and synthetic fertilisers are major drivers of this loss.

Pesticides are everywhere

Over 100 individual pesticides are used across seven British food staples including carrots and potatoes.

Nature can bounce back

When the pressure on nature is lifted, British wildlife can bounce back from depletion in a few short years. There are many farmers who are already experts in reducing the use of chemicals in agriculture.

New report reveals scale of pesticide use

Greenpeace analysis has revealed the scale of pesticide and fertiliser use in the UK and how it has pushed British nature to the brink.

What do we need the government to do?

For too long, the government has dragged its feet – but farmers and scientists have shown there is a better way. We now need ministers to take action:

Set binding targets to cut chemical use

Work with farmers to halve agricultural pesticide and fertiliser use by 2030, and commit to an 80% reduction by 2040. These targets are key to setting UK nature on the path to recovery.

Hold agribusiness to account

Chemical giants have spent years undermining scientific evidence of the harm they cause — using tactics borrowed from tobacco and oil companies. Their impact is becoming clearer and clearer, and that has to end.
