Tell the UK Government — Stop Funding Forest Destruction

The UK must act now to stop deforestation and protect forests critical for climate, nature, and Indigenous communities.

What to know:

• The Environment Act 2021 remains unenforced, allowing deforestation-linked goods into the UK.
• Forests the size of cities are being destroyed to supply UK markets — three years after the law was passed.
• Tell the government: fully implement and strengthen the Environment Act to end deforestation-linked imports now!

The Environment Act was hailed as a world-first law to tackle deforestation. Yet it remains incomplete, leaving UK markets open to goods linked to forest destruction.

New research shows the UK’s imports have contributed to deforestation the size of Liverpool, Cardiff, and Newcastle combined since 2021.

Cattle, palm oil, and soy from areas of destroyed rainforest continue to flow into the UK, undermining climate goals and biodiversity.

By finalizing the law and closing loopholes, the UK can honor its promise to fight the global nature emergency and protect forests worldwide.
