Henry Hen Harrier getting ready for the vote on the #WildlifeBill this afternoon! Peregrine overhead! ⁦ScotRaptorStudy⁩ ⁦Chris Packham⁩

Wildlife Management & Muirburn (Scotland) Bill has passed. Grouse moor licensing will now come into force, and birds of prey will be safer in Scotland! #WildlifeBill #SRSG

I just spoken in the #Seanad about the government's #WildlifeBill , which has passed the Dail with some potentially devastating amendments, with implications for #blanketbogs in Ireland. twitter.com/SeanadCEG/stat…

Species Champion Gillian Martin states during the A&W Bill Stage 1 Debate that the 'destruction of badger setts can lead to the destruction of a colony... the wilful destruction of a habitat is as much of an abuse of an animal as direct abuse' #WildlifeBill 🦡

A last-minute win! While I may not have succeeded in removing protected blanketbogs from #WildlifeBill I did persuade Minister to accept my amendment 50 requiring report on condition restoration & rewetting of ALL blanket bog NHAs before any order to remove protection can be made

This is a hugely disappointing outcome - Fine Gael are completely asleep at the wheel! Only for a handful of watchful senators and these scandalous and damaging decisions would be passed completely unnoticed 🤯 #WhenDoesItStop #WildlifeBill

We are delighted to see Species Champion for badger Colin Smyth MSP standing up for the species in the A&W Bill Stage 1 Debate today by highlighting the importance of “stronger protections for habitats and setts” #WildlifeBill

Quality of debate at the #WildlifeBill in Holyrood today is excellent. Thank you Kenneth Gibson MSP for your great contribution!

#OTD 1969: President #RichardNixon signed the #WildlifeBill into law. Expanded protections will be added in 1973. presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?p… #EndangeredSpeciesConservationAct #USHistory

'We need a reality check, 200 species become extinct every day…In Ireland, 49% of all endangered species occur on our peatlands”
- Trying to convey urgency of ecological/climate action to protect peatlands in debate on deeply flawed #WildlifeBill in #Seanad this week

Special mention to all the #Gamekeepers out there who got us to this position. Without their inability to modernise, remain within the law, or recognise public anger, we would not have got this over the line! Thanks! #WildlifeBill

#Angus Glen's, where young Hen Harriers all too often disappear without trace. Hopefully, the #WildlifeBill being voted on today will put an end to this nonsense! #WildlifeCrime

'In its evidence to @SP_ECCLR OneKind highlighted the need for alternative solutions (to custodial sentences) to help an individual to develop empathy and a regard for animals.' Colin Smyth MSP #WildlifeBill
