The Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme has been widely praised for its aim of encouraging farmers to create space for nature, and for absorbing carbon to help the country reach its net zero target.
There is widespread understanding that producing food and protecting nature go hand-in-hand.
Backsliding on the scheme would be a betrayal of the many farmers who know that food production relies on restoring nature and tackling climate breakdown.

By encouraging a more diversified approach than ‘food production only’, ELM could turbo-charge a thriving ecosystem of employment, built on the restoration of nature.
Data from sites in the Rewilding Network, which also produce food, shows a 65% increase in jobs from rewilding.

Rewilding at landscape-scale is the most significant, cost-effective and sustainable way to achieve major nature recovery.
It's a powerful solution for tackling climate breakdown, by creating carbon sinks, reducing flooding, and supporting resilience against wildfires.

This attack on nature could wreck chances of meeting legally binding climate and nature targets, create uncertainty for businesses, shatter the long-term sustainability of the economy, and unleash environmental losses that reduce quality of life for most people.
Environmental charities supported by millions of people are raising the alarm!
