Bring back Britain’s lost rainforests
The Government should protect and restore Britain’s lost temperate rainforests by implementing a ‘Great British Rainforests Strategy’. This must include a high-level commitment to restoration alongside sufficient funding and protection measures.
Few people realise that Britain is home to temperate rainforest, a globally rare and important habitat. The rainforests are astonishingly beautiful, and they are wildlife- and carbon-rich habitats, home to many rare and unique species of lichens, mosses, fungi, birds, insects and mammals. Despite their significance, Britain’s temperate rainforests now only remain in fragmented pockets, but there is considerable potential for the habitat to expand across the country.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a decision for individual landowners.
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund the creation or development of temperate rainforests.
