One in three Brits had admitted to doing nothing to support or protect struggling UK wildlife - despite nearly 9 in 10 saying they’re worried about its decline.

According to a British Wildlife Insights 2025 report, compiled by biodiversity and ecology consultants Arbtech, nearly a third of Brits are taking no action to help wildlife in their local areas.

33% of participants said they took no action to support wildlife, with a further 13% say they had no plans to ever take action. This was despite 88% of participants reporting to be concerned about the ongoing reduction of wildlife in the UK
