If you currently live in a marginal constituency, you have a unique opportunity to be a major influence at the next general election. WWF UK would like to use your influence to help preserve some of the world’s most incredible animals and create a better future for everyone in the country.

You may be wondering what links tigers, the general election and your future, and the answer is climate change. Rising temperatures are putting up to 30% of the world’s species at risk. Tackling climate change not only offers the opportunity to safeguard the wildlife at risk from a warming world, but also to help create a green economy right here in the UK. This could also open up the door for thousands of new green jobs during a time of high unemployment.

This years general election is the perfect opportunity to let your local politicians know that there is public support for action on a greener Britain. WWF UK has teamed up with CAFOD, Christian Aid, Tearfund, Greenpeace, Oxfam UK, RSPB and many other charities to encourage all of their supporters to ‘Ask the Climate Question’. This can be done by

1. Every time a member of a political party asks whatís important to you, list climate change in your top three issues.
2. Attend a candidates political meeting with family and friends to quiz them on climate change.
3. Get involved locally help with this campaign by writing letters to candidates

Marginal constituencies will be closely fought in the country, with political parties taking far greater interest in the views of voters in your area. With the ear of the politicians, now is a great time for you, your family, friends and neighbours to tell them that you are concerned about the future of not just humans, but also the countries wildlife and their habitats due to climate change.

2. Starling
3. Blackbird
4. Blue Tit
5. Chaffinch
6. Woodpigeon

The RSPB charity is over the moon with the news that the UK Marine and Coastal Access Bill has received Royal Assent and become a law. After 10 years of tireless campaigning for the Bill to be put into place, the RSPB now believe that by putting into place better, sustainable systems will provide a cleaner and safer marine and coastal environment for the nearby wildlife above and below the waves.

The RSPB will now focus it’s campaign to ensure that the Act is put into practice in both Scotland and Northern Ireland to ensure that their marine wildlife and seabirds are protected and safeguarded for future generations too.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said -

This historic, ground-breaking legislation fulfils the Government’s 2005 commitment to introduce a new framework for managing the demands we put on our seas, improve marine conservation, and open up access for the public to the English coast. I would like to thank all of you who have dedicated so much time and energy to producing this excellent Act and look forward to your help in implementing it.

It is largely thanks to the work of the RSPB and their supporters that this important legislation has been passed through Parliament. By making this law a reality, Britain’s coastal wildlife will now be afforded the level of protection that it so desperately needs.

RSPB UK are pleased to announce that their newly appointed president, Kate Humble will be presenting this season’s Autumnwatch which began on Friday 2nd October 2009. Autumnwatch, which is also presented by RSPB vice president Chris Packham, will be bringing birds, wildlife and nature back to our screens with an amazing selection of stories.

The show will run every Friday night at 9pm on BBC2 and contain many exclusive features including red deer rutting, a guide to Autumnal fungi, and of course in depth studies and observations of all the wildlife that really come into their own during this colourful time. Personally, autumn is my favourite season, as the days grow darker, fireworks, bonfires and leaves falling from the trees, it truly is a spectacular time of the year.

So why not get involved and follow the Autumnwatch team as they guide you through the heart of the action as this rich and dynamic season progresses?
