Extraordinary work by the Green Finance Institute today shows that damage to nature is slowing the UK economy and could lead to a 12% reduction in GDP - that's £150-£300bn - as early as the 2030s.
All political parties serious about the economy must invest and regulate to #RestoreNatureNow .
In response to our swift brick campaign the conservation world is UNITED in support. Check out the letter&signatures😍
To be flanked by members of Wildlife and Countryside Link feels ACE!ThankYou!
Dear Michael Gove EVERYONE is urging you to act. Sincerely, Hannah Bourne-Taylor & the birds (👁️the🐦⬛)
Very excited about our new paper! Lisbeth Hordley & I show that if you have long grass in your garden you’ll see more butterflies, that more long grass is better & that the effects are greater for gardens in more urban & arable landscapes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵
Good UK progress closing sandeel fisheries & restricting bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas.
But Government plans could speed up #FossilFuel licensing in MPAs.
Parliamentarians, please back this amendment to end oil & gas activity in MPAs:

Great to share the #Nature2030 petition with Adrian Ramsay, Suffolk Wildlife Trust North East Reserves. With 100k signatures, it demands action to restore nature by 2030.
Adrian set out The Green Party plan to double nature-friendly farming funding & for environmental rights.
A nightingale sang with joy!
📣 The govt has backtracked on it’s commitments to end the #badgercull and have instead proposed extensive and indefinite culling.
The The Wildlife Trusts have today written to the SOS to express our concerns.
Please share this thread and please have your say. 🙏
You counted, you waited, and now...the #BigGardenBirdWatch results are officially in! 📣
But who has claimed the number one spot?
Introducing your top 10 for 2024...
HOAC is an amazing facility that needs to be relocated. Broadwater is not an appropriate site as it is nationally important for wildlife. There are potentially suitable sites close by. To ensure that HOAC survives Hillingdon Council must look seriously at locations outside its boundary
So, not only have Norfolk County Council ignored years of advice & submitted a planning application for the NWL...🤨
But some MPs have written to DEFRA Secretary of State to out-maneuver Natural England's bat guidance which could block the road, labelling their work as 'arbitrary' 🙃🥺
First known occupation of Swift bricks in Herts - great to find 2 pairs of Blue Tits nesting in new build houses on the Taylor Wimpey development at Stevenage, showing the universal nature of these bricks. Just imagine if they were mandated for every house #hertsbirds #swifts
Great footage from St Albans Cathedral live Peregrine cam - third egg first seen at 6.18 this morning. Looks snuggly under there!!
