We are proud to launch our new campaign to highlight humankind’s relationship with nature and the adverse impact of our growing numbers on it. At its heart is the principle that we humans must see ourselves as an integral part of nature, not separate from and superior to it. We hope it will inspire people to take action, locally, nationally and globally, to help protect biodiversity and make the case for slowing and ending human population growth.

Our Patron Sir David Attenborough turned an impressive 96 years old on 8th May. The beloved broadcaster has much to be proud of and it is probably no exaggeration to say that nobody has inspired as many people to care about the environment as he has. But it’s not just love for all things furry, feathered and scaly that he’s helped spread. Olivia Nater reflects on his influence.

According to UNICEF, many of the world’s richest countries – including Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands and Norway – are providing healthier environments for children within their borders, yet are disproportionately contributing to the destruction of the global environment.

A new report foresees a future in which droughts may affect over three-quarters of the world’s population, unless we take action. Climate change and population growth are identified as key drivers, with drought predicted in 23 countries to be driven primarily by population growth, and in 38 by the combination of climate change and population growth.

The drought in Ethiopia is causing more girls to be married off as their parents can no longer support them. Child marriage is a human rights violation and fuels population growth.

This escalating crisis can only be solved by empowering women.

Millions of women across the US could soon lose their legal right to abortion, according to a leaked Supreme Court document. If Roe v Wade is overturned, it could inspire other countries to roll back women's reproductive rights as well.

We cannot let this happen.
