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.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the cutting down of certain forests, but it's not clear if you want the Government to introduce new prohibitions on the clearing of forest in the UK, or work internationally to seek to reduce the clearing of forests internationally.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. It would need to be clear from both the title and main text of your petition if you want the Government to take action domestically, internationally, or both.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
