#314: Countryfile Wild Britain

The BBC's long-running Countryfile programme has a Wild Britain campaign

This is aimed at the general public and to try to capture acts of kindness towards the wildlife of the country.

We are one of the most nature depleted countries in the world, and whilst we may have some amazing wildlife in this country it’s sadly in crisis: more than 40% of UK species populations have declined since the 1970s and a quarter of British mammals are at risk of extinction.

Wildlife needs you more than ever before. We want you to become a nature champion and choose an action to give wildlife a boost whether that’s making a bog garden to feeding the birds, creating hedgehog homes or mini beast hotels, everyone can help in their own way, no matter what size of space you have. Whatever you choose to do, please add your action to BBC Countryfile Wild Britain map.
