Thousands of people marched through central London to urge political leaders to take more decisive action in tackling the UK’s wildlife crisis.

The protest on Saturday culminated in a rally outside Parliament Square with speeches from prominent figures including the naturalists Chris Packham and Steve Backshall, and poetry readings and performances from Billy Bragg and Feargal Sharkey.

The actor Dame Emma Thompson called on politicians to “act now” on the climate crisis as she led thousands on the march.

I've a lot of respect for Chris Packam. This series is particularly interesting: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/chris-packham-is-it-time-to-break-the-law
