In June, the UK became the first major economy to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050 – the UK Government must now ensure it has an effective action plan to meet this ambition and go even further
Following discussions on the serious threats posed by the big cat trade and policies in China which serve to perpetuate it, 71 MPs and Peers have now called on the UK Government to support strong action to save big cats
