Changing destructive policies is one of the biggest ways to halt the loss of habitats and exploitative practices that affect the most at-risk species on the planet.<\/p>\n

Writers Rebel<\/em> and Extinction Rebellion<\/em> are committed to holding governments to account to reverse the devastating losses to biodiversity that the Anthropocene has caused.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not yet joined your local group, for the sake of the animals, head here to sign-up.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are roles for rebels in every capacity, but there are other ways to support wildlife too. In collaboration with the co-stars of #OnTheBrink, we’ve selected charities and petitions that you can support to help bring back species from the edge of extinction.<\/p>\n
