Our county’s precious wildlife and natural beauty are under threat. Iconic species face local extinction and nearly all our rivers fail clean water standards. But your vote in the upcoming election can turn the tide.
The party elected to power will determine if we can revive Oxfordshire’s unmatched natural glory – and build healthier, more resilient communities for all. That’s why we need your help to make sure all candidates, no matter what party they belong to, make restoring nature a top priority.
The national Nature 2030 campaign has mapped out policies to protect 30% of UK lands and waters for nature’s revival. Along with other Oxfordshire charities, Community First Oxfordshire has translated these into five crucial actions tailored for our county:
1. More space for Oxfordshire’s nature
2. Healthy nature for everyone
3. Nurturing Oxfordshire’s green workforce
4. Supporting nature friendly farming in Oxfordshire
5. Corporate responsibility for nature’s recovery
