Today, the Bank of England announced that the British public has voted for nature on our banknotes. Of 44,000 responses, 60% chose nature as their preferred theme – ahead of landmarks, historical figures, arts, sport, and innovation. When given a genuine choice about what matters to them, people chose the natural world. This year we mark our 200th anniversary, and we've had the privilege of featuring three of the species we work hard to protect on a commemorative £2 coin – a Sumatran tiger, a Socorro dove, and a partula snail. Animals whose survival has depended on decades of scientific effort, global partnerships, and sustained investment. Seeing wildlife on currency feels, in that context, not just symbolic but fitting. It’s great news that everyone is invested in putting wildlife on the money. The bigger challenge – and the more urgent one – is getting everyone invested in spending the money on the wildlife. Right now, we’re facing a stark reality. Wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% over the last 50 years. Reversing that requires roughly $700 billion globally a year. The public appetite is clearly there. The capital exists. What's missing is the infrastructure that connects the two: the scientific standards, the governance frameworks, the policy signals that give institutional investors the confidence to act. The public have made their values clear – literally, on our currency. Our future banknotes will bring us all a welcome glimpse of wildlife as we go about our day-to-day. The question for financial institutions, for policymakers, and for organisations like our science-led conservation charit, is how we can ensure those banknotes work as hard as they can for the wildlife. It’s clear the public value nature, now it’s time to ensure that the economy and decision makers do too.

“If humans want to exist in nature with me... and off of me...I suggest they listen close. I’m only going to say this once. If nature isn't kept healthy, humans won't survive.” Harrison Ford is The Ocean. #NatureIsSpeaking
