UK wildlife faced extreme heat, drought, and wildfires in 2025, but conservation efforts helped some species recover.
In 2025, the UK’s wildlife endured extreme weather as drought, record heat, and wildfires became the “new normal” due to climate change.
The warmest and sunniest spring on record led to a scorching summer, drying rivers and ponds, and triggering the worst wildfire season—47,000 hectares burned, including sensitive peatlands.
Newly planted trees saw 40% mortality, and species like natterjack toads and great crested newts struggled to reproduce.
Yet some wildlife rebounded: butterflies recovered after 2024’s poor showing, and dormice thrived during a mast year.
Beavers and wetland restoration helped maintain water in key areas.
The National Trust stressed that proactive conservation—like planting drought-resistant trees and improving soil health—can build resilience, offering hope despite worsening climate extremes.
