The Big Biodiversity March and Die-in were greater than we could ever have expected!
An estimated 65,000 people joined the march, from 200 different organisations, coming together in a peaceful, family-friendly protest, with birdsong, creative costumes and banners, scientists detailing the extent of the crisis, all standing up for nature, celebrating biodiversity, and demanding action to protect our wildlife.
And almost everyone then joined the die-in. For nearly a mile, from St James's Park by Downing Street, through Parliament Square, and beyond Lambeth Bridge, people lay down, all at once, filling the streets with their bodies, in a poignant action symbolising biodiversity loss, the species that are now going extinct without government action to reverse the ecological crisis.

Thank you so much to all who took part, and who support us in demanding the government protect and restore biodiversity.
