Tell Brazil: Lead the World Beyond Fossil Fuels at COP30

Our national parks are under threat.
The Treasury wants to weaken the laws that protect areas like Dartmoor and the Lake District by opening them up to bulldozers and roads!
Right now, Ministers are debating the plans, but no decision has been made yet. That means we still have time to stop it.

It doesn't matter if it's the Conservatives or Labour allowing 8 sites to be sold off every year. Even if a few might be replaced, some won't.
One allotment sold, and lost from community use forever, is one too many.

KKR inspired a film about corporate greed called Barbarians at the Gate.
