2010 General Election
Your support of Sussex Wildlife Trust shows that our natural heritage is important to you. Despite huge conservation effort and great successes like the designation of the South Downs National Park, our wildlife is still under threat and in decline. The next Government faces real challenges to reverse this trend as the effects of climate change become a reality.
We have contacted all the Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) standing for election in Sussex to ask how they and their parties intend to tackle these threats and protect and enhance the wildlife and landscapes of Sussex. We asked all PPCs to respond by 19 April 2010.

We are asking our supporters to speak up for wildlife by asking Prospective Parliamentary Candidates these questions:
Wildlife Pledge
Eleven wildlife conservation organisations have therefore put together the Wildlife Pledge 2010. This aims to raise the profile of nature conservation amongst prospective parliamentary candidates and to identify potential wildlife champions that we can work with, if they are elected, to make the UK a better place for biodiversity in and beyond 2010.
