UK Children March to Buckingham Palace to Deliver Petition

By on October 11, 2021

On Saturday, TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham led 100 children’s march to Buckingham Palace to ask Queen Elizabeth to support a new environmental approach on its estates that will promote biodiversity across the UK.

The children accompanied by their parents joined the march across nearby Green Park to the queen’s official residence to deliver a petition with 100,000 signatures.

The petition asks the family to return hundreds of thousands of hectares of land it owns to its natural state, encouraging the return of native species before the UN’s COP26 climate summit hosted by Britain in October.

Campaigners calculate the royals own land equivalent to 1.4 percent of the UK, much of which they say could be used to encourage nature.

Chris Packham said the demonstrators wanted to see the royals make the change on the 800,000 acres of land that they have in the UK, calling the march the most harmonious, beautiful and peaceful demonstration.
