Our natural world is in a critical condition. The laws and systems to keep it healthy are failing. More than 60% of plants and animals in the UK are now under threat. One in eight faces extinction.

The Government is currently shaping a new Environment Bill, the first in more than twenty years. It will set out a legal framework for the government’s promise to leave the environment in a better state over the next 25 years. NUS are working with The Wildlife Trusts and WWF to ensure that students and younger generations have their say in this once in a generation opportunity, to set us on a path to restoring nature and securing a just and sustainable future for all.

The Wilder FutureLink opens in a new window evening will be an opportunity to hear from leading conservationists and academics and find out what you can do to help achieve nature's recovery.

Keynote speakers include:

Sir John Lawton: author of the 2010 Making Space for Nature report. Leader of the ‘Lawton Review’ on the resilience and adequacy of England’s wildlife sites.

Baroness Parminter: Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). Past Chief Executive of the CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England)

We want a Wilder Future. A future where existing wildlife sites are better protected, and connected to more space for wildlife, and people too. A future where nature is in recovery. Do you share our vision? If so, we need your help. Come along to our evening:
