Hands Off Nature

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection.

When the European Commission quietly asked for public opinions on whether to weaken environmental protections, you spoke up. And you weren’t alone.

Nearly 200,000 people across Europe sent a powerful, united message in just 10 days:
Hands off nature.
We need our laws to hold polluters accountable, and protect our forests, rivers, wildlife, and clean air.

Thanks to you, decision-makers cannot ignore what citizens demand: strong laws that protect people and planet, not profits. This campaign showed the power of collective action. Thank you for being part of this milestone.

#HandsOffNature

Tell them to keep their hands off nature.

Across Europe, nature is already struggling. Forests are thinning, rivers are drying, wildlife is vanishing. We’re losing clean air, safe water, and the green spaces we rely on. And now, the Commission wants to weaken the very laws meant to protect nature and people.

Some decision-makers call it “simplification” or “cutting red tape”, when in truth it’s dismantling our key environmental protections, one by one. What’s actually being simplified is the path for those who want to profit from the destruction of nature at everyone’s expense. And they are doing it quietly, when most people are away. In the middle of the summer, the European Commission launched a ‘Call for Evidence’, asking companies, organisations and citizens whether EU environmental laws should be weakened.

This is your chance to speak up.

Write your message via the form below to tell decision-makers you oppose weakening and removing nature laws.

It took decades of our collective voices to build the laws that protect people and nature. Don’t let them be undone in silence.

You have until 10th September to make your voice heard – make it count!

Please note that your submission will be public on the Commission’s website.
