This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Local authorities already have powers to protect wild life and designate green areas, and have a public authority duty to have regard to conserving biodiversity.

We could accept a petition calling for local authorities to be given new powers, or have new obligations, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made to current arrangements.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
