Stop Subsidizing the Destruction of Vital Woodpecker Habitat

Woodpeckers need mature trees to survive. But UK subsidies for bioenergy threaten their habitat. The UK is being hypocritical. They’ve committed to protecting 30% of their land and oceans by 2030. They’ve committed to investing billions in nature and restoration. But their policies are leading to more forest destruction in the US South. We need your help to save woodpeckers and their vital habitat. Take Action!

Tell UK Officials to Keep Southern Forests Standing and Stop Funding the Forests-as-Fuel Sham.

Your message will be delivered to these UK government officials:

  • Andy Burnham – Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury
  • Miatta Fahnbulleh – Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero
  • Dame Angela Ease – Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
  • Mary Creagh – Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
  • Victoria Atkins – Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
  • Baroness Hayman of Ullock – Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State
