Replace all EU LIFE programme funding

Petition Details

The government should match EU Life funding post-Brexit to support zoos and other environmental conservation efforts. After a year of drastically reduced income for these organisations, many conservation and animal protection projects are collapsing. The loss of EU funding is another huge blow.

Additional Information

One example is Edinburgh Zoo, which received a £3.2m grant in EU Life funding, supporting the effort to save the Scottish Wildcat from extinction. Post-Brexit, Edinburgh Zoo and other zoos are no longer eligible to apply for EU life funding and the vital projects that were previously supported will suffer.
