Help British wildlife to thrive
We the undersigned ask the government to reduce immigration from the 500,000 a year intake to at most 5000 a year. The reasons are as follows:
-The UK is a small Island with finite land area
-We have a human population of 62million which is growing
-We are one of the densist countries in the EU
-Our large human population is squeezing wildlife towards extinction. Bumble bees, honey bees and many other species are threatend by loss of habitat due to human building.
-As more people enter the UK, more houses, roads, schools, shops and other construction will have to be done. This will destory the little remaining indiginous wildlife habitat.
-Since 1930, 98% of natural wildflowers that are bumble bee habitat have been lost to farming, and human construction.
Grass lands, wildflower meadows, ponds, bogs, woods and more will be lost.
