The Bank of England has announced that British wildlife may feature on future UK banknotes. This presents a rare opportunity to celebrate the natural world and reflect the values of modern Britain.

We believe that the fox should be chosen to feature on the new UK £10 note.

Foxes are one of the most recognisable and widely known wild animals in Britain. They live across both rural and urban environments and are a familiar presence in cities, towns and countryside alike. Few species are as closely woven into everyday British life.

The fox is also a powerful cultural symbol. It represents resilience, intelligence and adaptability, and has long held a place in British storytelling, folklore and national identity.

At the same time, foxes have faced decades of persecution, including being hunted for sport. As public attitudes continue to shift towards greater protection for wildlife, the fox has become a symbol of changing values and a growing commitment to compassion and coexistence.

Featuring a fox on the UK £10 note would recognise one of Britain’s most iconic species and reflect a country that values and protects its wildlife.

We call on the Bank of England to select the fox as the featured species on the new UK £10 note.
