Excellent #LawPodUK episode from @1crownofficerow.bsky.social ft leading environmental lawyer Carol Day from @leigh-day.bsky.social talking about significance of our recent High Court win against Natural England who had tried to increase our adverse costs cap #Aarhus audioboom.com/posts/880408...

We’re back in the High Court in London this morning for a permission hearing to see whether our legal challenge against Planning & Infrastructure Bill can proceed. Court room is rammed - lots of interest in this decision #ParliamentaryPrivilege

Really important judgment in @badgertrust.bsky.social & @wildjustice.bsky.social's case protecting environmental groups' ability to challenge plans that would damage our environment. wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high... "something bigger than all of us is at stake: the environment which we share"

Natural justice really did apply for @wildjustice.bsky.social and @badgertrust.bsky.social in this High Court judgement. Shame on Natural England seeking to undermine their democratic right to challenge Natural England's badger culling licence through the courts! wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high...

The Hon Mr Justice Fordham has released his written judgement about why he dismissed Natural England's attempt to increase our costs cap for our legal challenge against Badger cull licences 🦡⚖️ A v important judgement for all environmental groups! Details 🔽 wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high...

This was such a cynical attempt by Natural England and could have had far reaching implications for many NGOs - thank goodness they have lost. Kudos to Wild Justice, the Badger Trust and their legal teams. Important win for wildlife and conservationists and groups everywhere.

Natural England tried to price us out of taking legal action against Badger culling but it backfired when the High Court threw out NE's claim ⚖️ We continue. Substantive legal challenge against NE Badger cull licences takes place in December 🦡 Press release 🔽 wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high...

Gosh, what a mystery. Whatever could have happened to them? No bodies, no tags, no prosecutions, no accountability, no deterrent. This will continue. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/09/29/t...

Please do respond to this consultation if you can.

Done. You should too. SGARs don't just kill rodents, they kill non target species too. They are bad.

Mission completed yesterday! Thanks to @wildjustice.bsky.social for the guidance, which was invaluable.

Nobody wants a rat infestation - except perhaps for the chemical cos making BIG profits from rat poison while also harming wildlife. This guide from our friends at @wildjustice.bsky.social gives you a chance to tell a consultation that there are safer alternatives: wildjustice.org.uk/general/plea...

very important - job for this evening!

Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) are causing widespread harm to wildlife, especially birds of prey. Here's your opportunity to put pressure on the HSE to stop approving them for use - there are safer alternatives! Deadline Tues 30 Sept! wildjustice.org.uk/general/plea...

This was a massive distraction project, intended to draw attention away from the ongoing illegal killing on northern UK grouse moors. Maybe now NE & Defra will put their (our!) money where it really needs to go - on ramped up enforcement. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/09/16/g...

Thank you to everyone who dropped by our stand at #WildSummitUK yesterday....we hardly had time to take a breather and have been overwhelmed with the level of support for our work. Our Phabulous Pheasant (shit)Show caused quite a buzz! Thank you 🙏

Thank you to everyone who came to our Phabulous Pheasant (shit) Show at #WildSummitUK yesterday! We've had so much lovely feedback & support, thank you!

Brilliant to meet & chat with the incredible @wildjustice.bsky.social team @wildsummituk.bsky.social @ruthtingay.bsky.social & bump into so many others there. A magnet for action for wildlife (& good news that the Pheasant Show theatrical will at some point be online!) Thank you for all you do 💚

What the? Indeed. Looking like a great show @wildjustice.bsky.social @wildsummituk.bsky.social

Bags full of info plus Schrödinger’s pheasant and the livestock vs wildlife conundrum. A bit of a lecture theatre performance at @wildsummituk.bsky.social from @wildjustice.bsky.social 👏👏 re the pheasant crisis in the UK

The Phabulous Pheasant Show @wildsummituk.bsky.social by @wildjustice.bsky.social @ruthtingay.bsky.social @bobelliot.bsky.social @lucylapwing.bsky.social @mrhenrymorris.substack.com Let hope the absurd and grotesque becomes the illegal @markavery.bsky.social @derbyswildlife.bsky.social

Setting up for our Phabulous Pheasant Show at #WildSummitUK tomorrow….

Join us at #WildSummitUK on Thurs 9 Sept for our Phabulous Pheasant Show, where we'll be ridiculing the absurd annual release of 50 Million non-native Pheasants & exploring the environmental impacts of this grotesque 'sport'. Our show runs 1pm - 1.45pm, Lantern Hall. + All-day stall, ground floor.

BBC News coverage of our successful legal challenge against a planning decision made by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good news - we won our challenge in Wales! Judge rules planning permission for outdoor adventure centre in Pembrokeshire is unlawful because of environmental concerns. Read our press release: wildjustice.org.uk/general/judg...

Join Wild Justice at the inaugural Wild Summit for an interactive and visual dive into the past, present and future of what George Monbiot describes as the ‘bronze plague’. Bristol Beacon, 11 Sept, all day! wildjustice.org.uk/general/join...

We've been granted a permissions hearing at the High Court for our legal challenge against Angela Raynor's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'will not reduce environmental protections', which we say was both untrue & unlawful. Press release 🔽 wildjustice.org.uk/general/cour...

This is astonishing. Although actually, it isn't if your values are focused on having the 'right' to shoot gamebirds in the face for a bit of fun rather than protect wild birds of high conservation value from a devastating disease. #BirdFlu #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/31/f...

There are at least 14 other cases that I know of, still to be publicised. The wilful blindness of Defra Ministers allows this criminality to continue. They're not even embarrassed. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/24/1...

0.1% of Dartmoor in good ecological condition. And each Dartmoor ewe loses its owner £16.90 – the ecological and economic craziness of the current sheep grazing regime well explained by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social. Time to change how this amazing place is managed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Back in court for day 2 of our Dartmoor legal challenge today....and a timely, excellent piece from @phoebeweston.bsky.social on overgrazing. Expert local opinion from the brilliant @tonydartmoor.bsky.social & @guyshrubsole.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

All power to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and @wildjustice.bsky.social in pursuing this crucial case. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here's why we're in the High Court today.... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today we're in court! Our case challenging overgrazing on Dartmoor will be heard over the next two days. Wish us luck. Read the press release from our lawyers: wildjustice.org.uk/sssis/legal-...

Cannot believe it wasn’t banned years ago when we understood the toxicity of lead.

Angling agreed to a ban decades ago. The delay with shooting reminds us of their power in govt. Govt should also ban driven shooting now; no excuse not to.

GOOD NEWS: Lead shot will be banned! RESULT! After years of campaigning, the use of toxic lead ammunition by the shooting industry will be banned. This is excellent news for people's health and for wildlife. Read the Defra press release here: wildjustice.org.uk/general/toxi...

Finally! This is an historic win for all those who have spent decades trying to get the govt to act. Non-compliance is expected to be high so effective monitoring & robust enforcement must follow. Defra press release + commentary from me ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/10/p...

A huge thanks to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social, @wildjustice.bsky.social and the 100k that signed the petition. We stand with them in demanding a wilder, nature rich future for our uplands. We go on.

While some decision makers chose to champion the status quo, we want to highlight @oliviablakemp.bsky.social and her superb speaking of truth to power, including a vital call to move to land uses that support the needs of the wider community.

Last week’s debate on driven grouse shooting was frustrating for many of us that want to see positive, progressive change in England's uplands.

And in other nature writer news today, this melancholy, beautiful Guardian Country Diary by Mark Cocker, has parallels to mine, earlier in the week, counties apart: the acknowledged damage done by commercial shooting. Some of the same commenters, too; @wildjustice.bsky.social

Watch @oliviablakemp.bsky.social’s brutal takedown of driven grouse shooting in just 90 seconds from last weeks debate in Parliament. @wildjustice.bsky.social

Anyone remember where I parked my locally sourced organic Land Rover ? The Tragic Comedy of Grouse Shooting Lies: presented to you by your elected representatives , at the @wildjustice.bsky.social driven grouse shooting debate earlier this week – enjoy .

Oh! His support for driven grouse shooting during Monday's debate now makes a lot more sense! FYI, @oliviablakemp.bsky.social raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/03/p...
