This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Prevent English Oaks being felled to rebuild Notre Dame
Rejected on
Due to human destruction of forests there is a lack of trees of sufficient size in France to fulfil the demands of the rebuilding work. Estates have pledged trees from Britain in lieu. Please prevent this from happening and encourage the French Government to rebuild using sustainable materials.
This is a clear sign of the global environmental crisis facing us now and presents an opportunity to recognise human involvement in climate change and make an iconic example of sustainability.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a decision for the estates themselves. You could raise the issue directly with them.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
