The Species Champions partnership organisations would like to thank all the MPs who have taken part in the Species Champions project, working on behalf of their species in Parliament, their constituencies and in the media. In particular we wish to thank Richard Benyon, Alastair Burt, Peter Heaton-Jones, Norman Lamb, Claire Perry and Caroline Spelman who are standing down from Parliament and won’t be seeking re-election. While Parliament is dissolved the project is suspended but we will be back in action soon after the General Election, and in the meantime we will review the project and the species being championed to make sure that MPs can have maximum impact for our threatened wildlife.
