Bravo to Buntingford!👏 This school's success is brilliant demo of how #NetZero solutions can help keep us cool during a #ClimateCrisis. With extreme heat events only promising to become more frequent, it's vital we invest in this infrastructure now.

Great news for our oceans! 🦀 Since 2019, we've planted 4.9 million seeds through Seagrass Ocean Rescue. 🎉 Seagrass meadows protect coastlines & shelter marine life, but the UK has lost 92% over the last century. Our restoration plots are even spreading on their own, beyond where we planted. 🙌

Our oceans are Earth's life support system - producing around half the oxygen we breathe, storing carbon, supporting communities, and nurturing incredible forms of life. Covering 71% of our planet, they are the beating heart of Earth. 🌊💙 #Nature #Wildlife

It's official: analysis by @wwattribution.bsky.social reveals that human-caused #ClimateChange is 'unequivocally' to blame for the #Heatwave currently affecting much of Europe. ⚠️ The science cannot be ignored. Temperatures will keep rising until we reach #NetZero emissions. 🌡️

Rhinos are making a comeback! 🦏 4 greater one-horned rhinos have been relocated to an open grassland in 2026 at northern India’s Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, bringing the total to 8 now roaming free. What’s even better, new calves have been spotted!

Yesterday Parliament approved the 7th Carbon Budget. Its targets for cutting emissions keep us on track for #NetZero, are backed by science, and essential to limit #ClimateChange. Yet some politicians still chose to vote against it. Delaying action would put lives and livelihoods at risk.

Scotland has recorded its hottest day of the year so far. 🌡️ A sign of summer? No. From flooding to heatwaves, this erratic weather is a reminder of #ClimateChange. We know the solutions: restore nature and replace fossil fuels with homegrown renewables. The time for bold #ClimateAction is now! 🌍

🥵🫠 24°C difference in land surface temperature between Brussels city centre and Forest de Soignes yesterday! 🔥Concrete traps the heat, forests let it breathe 🌬️ Another stark reminder that trees and green spaces in cities aren’t just more beautiful, they cool, protect, and keep them livable🌳

Thanks to the picture editor for this article for reflecting how we feel when we see all the other #UKHeatwave coverage illustrated with pics of people having a lovely time at the beach.

Our latest assessment of the UK’s progress in reducing emissions is out. The headline: Electrification would save people money, but government action is falling short of making these savings a reality. 🎥 Watch our explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na8v... ⬇️

As the UK swelters under this week's #heatwave, Parliament is gathering to vote on the 7th carbon budget. The science is clear: reaching #NetZero emissions is the only way to bring our climate back into balance and tackle soaring temperatures. 🌡️

Another record‑breaking month. Back‑to‑back. These temperatures are affecting people's health and are a real danger for some of our wildlife. The risks are growing, but we know the solutions: invest in nature, create cooler greener places, and replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. 👏

🌡️ UK schools are closing because of the heat. The #UKHeatwave isn't a one-off weather event. It's a glimpse of the future climate scientists have been warning about. And without urgent action, the risks to people and nature will only grow. The climate crisis isn't coming. It's already here. 🔥

How to stay cool in a heatwave: advice from a mushroom 1. Lurk in the dark 2. Avoid direct sunlight 3. Avoid indirect sunlight 4. Okay just avoid all sunlight 5. Remember the lurking

This week's forecast? HOT. 🥵 When temperatures soar, a shallow dish of water can be a lifeline for birds, hedgehogs, bees and other garden visitors. Remember to replace it with fresh water daily, and if you can, add a few pebbles so smaller creatures have somewhere safe to land and drink.

No one wants to see schools forced to close because buildings and playgrounds can’t cope with extreme heat. More trees and green spaces can help cool the places where children learn and play, while supporting wildlife and building resilience to extreme weather. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news! 👏 Today, the UK government have announced a new law that will keep products linked to illegal deforestation off our supermarket shelves. This is a huge win for forests around the world, and all the lives that depend on them. 🌳

If you’ve got a garden or balcony, pop out a shallow dish of water with pebbles today. 🐝 This will help out many of the amazing species in your garden by giving them a safe place to drink. 💛 www.express.co.uk/life-style/g...

Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef is a seasonal hotspot for whale sharks at this time of year. 🐋 But these gentle giants face growing threats. Climate change. 🌡️ Fishing net entanglement. 🎣 Plastic pollution. 🧴 Protecting our oceans, we can help these incredible creatures thrive. 🌊

The longest day means wildlife is busy dawn to dusk. Here’s what to spot if you get outside this #SummerSolstice. 🌞 Dawn chorus starts before sunrise.🐦 Butterflies are out in force all day. 🦋 Fox cubs playing near their dens. 🦊 Badgers emerge as light fades. 🦡

How endangered are marine turtles? 🐢 Some species remain critically at risk, but some, like green turtles, are no longer endangered globally. Progress shows conservation works. But with most marine turtles still under threat, key gaps remain. We’re working to close them.

With growing debate about how best to support young people’s wellbeing, one thing is clear: nature plays a vital role. Even 20 minutes spent outdoors each day can help reduce stress and anxiety, lift mood, and give our minds space to rest.

The Major Oak has stood at the heart of Sherwood Forest for over a thousand years. This spring, it failed to come into leaf and experts now believe it has died. But its story isn’t over. Its ancient trunk & branches will continue to support life for years to come: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

Good turtle news to start off your week! 🐢 Data from sites we monitor suggests that marine turtle nesting is on the up this year! Hatchlings like these face a tough journey, but we're doing all we can to protect them. #WorldSeaTurtleDay

Scotland’s home to grey and common seals, often seen resting on shores that inspired folktales. 🦭 In mythology, seals become selkies - mythical beings who shift from seal to human by shedding their skin. Some say they came ashore on Midsummer’s Eve and danced in the moonlight. ✨ #Nature #Wildlife

Did you know that puffins usually dive to around 30m to catch prey, although they can reach depths of up to 60m? As they dive, air trapped in their feathers compresses under pressure, sometimes releasing tiny bubbles that trail behind them – looking like an underwater comet! 💙 #Wildlife #Nature

Great news! 🌼 The new Natural History GSCE will get young people outside, learning how our actions shape the natural world and how simple steps like wildlife‑friendly gardening can boost biodiversity. 🦋

Climate news: Scotland's 2024 greenhouse gases fell by just 1%. 📉 This disappointing progress highlights the lack of bold action by the Scottish Government in cutting climate emissions. Tackling how we heat our homes can end our reliance on unstable fossil fuels prices and help reach #NetZero. 🏠

A moment for marvellous moths... Did you know Scotland is home to over 1,500 moth species? These fuzzy and often overlooked insects play an important role as night-time pollinators. 🌙 They're also attracted to honeysuckle (seen below!). Its sweet scent helps draw them in. 🦋 #Nature #Wildlife

June and July are prime badger spotting season! 🦡 These shy, nocturnal animals sometimes pop out before sunset during the summer months, making dusk a great time to spot them.

Seals, sharks, dolphins and whales are being killed by fishing. And it’s not just happening in British waters. What we eat in the UK has a global impact on vulnerable ocean wildlife. The UK Government MUST introduce robust monitoring so the food we rely on doesn’t come at the cost of biodiversity.

🚨🚨 Ocean under 'severe' stress according to the UN's latest World Ocean Assessment URGENT global effort is needed to curb the impact of industrial fishing, the climate crisis & pollution says the damning report The ocean is ringing the alarm. We must listen! theguardian.com/environment/...

Yesterday we celebrated #WorldOceansDay; today we are reminded how much they need our help. Healthy oceans are essential for people and our planet to thrive. But marine ecosystems are being pushed to the brink. Leaders worldwide MUST take steps to protect them.

Some good news for our oceans this #WorldOceansDay. 🙌 We're replanting the UK’s seabed. 🦀 Working across 7 countries to rescue coral reefs. 🪸 Protecting turtles in Fiji by working with local communities.🐢 And championing the High Seas Treaty, to help protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. 🐋

We joined fellow nature lovers with one clear message: nature needs action! 🌿 With a new @parliament.scot elected, this is a chance for MSPs to turn promises into progress for wildlife, people & climate. The demo gave hope that together, we can bring our world back to life. 🌍 @scotlink.bsky.social

Mountains, oceans, tundras and savannahs - just a few of the amazing habitats that make our planet so extraordinary. 🌿✨ #WorldEnvironmentDay

Every year from April to June, South Africa’s east coast comes alive with the epic sardine run. The spectacle draws seabirds, sharks, and a whole lot of dolphins. 🐬 And we don’t know why! The mass movement may provide no benefit to the fish. 🐟

The SOKNOT region of Southern Kenya & Northern Tanzania is known for its iconic species & landscapes. Scientists from Center for Large Landscape Conservation & WWF have mapped its critical wildlife corridors to aid conservation work and ensure local communities thrive. https://ow.ly/A0S350Z6zw8

Nature needs all of us—this #PrideMonth and every day. 🌈🌍 We stand with LGBTQ+ colleagues, supporters and communities. Because building a future where people and nature thrive depends on inclusion, diversity and working together. 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride2026

The UK's biggest celebration of climate & nature action is nearly here! 🥳 Join communities from across the country to protect and restore nature, this #GreatBigGreenWeek, 6-14 June. Let’s come together for good. 💚 🔗 www.greatbiggreenweek.com#GreatBigGreenWeek

When this photo of Sir David Attenborough was taken in 1978, only a few hundred mountain gorillas remained. Thanks to decades of conservation work mountain gorillas are now considered ‘Endangered’ rather than 'Critically Endangered’ with over 1,000 in the wild. And there’s more to come. 💚

The UK was built for a climate that no longer exists. People, wildlife, our economy and our food supply are feeling the heat. But it’s not too late to act. The government needs to protect people & nature by cutting emissions and preparing for a warming world. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Otters need healthy rivers to thrive. 🦦 Working with farmers across the UK, we’re helping to restore ecosystems that support our otters, voles, shrews and other mammals. #WorldOtterDay

We're feeling the heat. Trees, parks, and other green spaces help cool our towns and protect people and wildlife during extreme temperatures. With climate change making heat like this more frequent, we need to restore and work WITH nature to help keep us cool. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
