Protect our natural world - save Winterwatch!

Save Winterwatch. We call on the BBC to reconsider this appalling decision and give the paying public a programme that helps bring the British public closer to nature. 

Why is this important?

It is a sad fact that the UK is one of the most nature deficient countries in the world! We must do everything possible to reverse that shameful fact... that means helping to educate the public about nature.

Sir David Attenborough has said many times that "No one will protect what they don't care about and no one will care about what they have never experienced."

Educating about nature is what the BBC does best.

In an age when the natural world faces its greatest threat, when British species are on the Red List and threatened with extinction, when we are recognising the value of the natural world for our mental health it is beyond belief to learn that Winterwatch has been cancelled.

Many BBC viewers will be rightfully frustrated at this short sighted decision and we call on them to make a stand for British wildlife.
