Rejected petition Save British Wildlife revised

More details

We urge the government to rethink its policies on population growth in the UK, by seriously considering its impact on wildlife.
Reasons:
-The UK is an Island.
-We have an overly large human population of 62million which is growing.
- Scientific surveys are showing that species, such as: Bumble bees, Corncrakes, Bats, Crickets, Ground Beetles, Wildcats, Dormice, Starlings, Sparrows, Woodpeckers, Warblers, Hedgehogs, are threatened by, and going extinct due to habitat loss through human construction.
-As our population grows, more houses, roads, schools, shops, airports, golf courses will be built. This will destroy remaining wildlife habitat, like grass lands, ponds, bogs and woods.
-Since 1930, 98% of wildflower meadows, that are bumble bee habitat have been lost to farming, and development.
We the undersigned urge the government to recognise that wildlife is vital to our future
