Pine martens, a native species to the UK, are under threat due to habitat loss and illegal persecution. Once common across Britain, their population has drastically declined over the last century. According to The Vincent Wildlife Trust, there are now only an estimated 3,700 pine martens left in Scotland and even fewer in England and Wales. This decline is largely due to deforestation and illegal trapping activities. We need urgent action from our government to enforce stricter laws against illegal trapping and promote reforestation efforts that will help restore their natural habitats. By signing this petition, you are standing up for these vulnerable creatures and advocating for their right to thrive in their natural environment. Please sign this petition today - let's protect our pine martens!
