What does Labour’s loss mean for nature? Here’s why no matter what party you support nature was a winner last night. 💚🦇🦎

Labour losing in Gorton and Denton is the result of their whole election strategy being, pointing to Reform and saying we're not them, while pursuing Reform's policy platform. If you want to say you're the alternative to something, you can't be exactly the same as that thing.

🦇 Water habitats are essential for all UK bat species, as they provide food and can act as a safe blue corridor between important sites. Please support this campaign and email your MP to demand action for clean water now. It only takes 2 minutes: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/clean...

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a big Carl Sagan fan but I'm super dismayed out how many people these days seem to think that Nuclear Weapons are fine. And not, you know, a completely insane way for us all to live.

Well done @greenpartyhan.bsky.social congratulations. You absolutely smashed out of the park mate. And well done to everyone who worked so hard on the campaign. When we stand together we can win!

Beautiful acceptance speech and interview on Sky as @greenpartyhan.bsky.social makes UK political history 1800 volunteers turned up today & helped the Greens get 40% of the vote share But it's Hannah's sincerity that won this election and makes her such a special addition to parliament 💚🙏🏽

Nuclear deregulation lobbyists are getting desperate now. I’m honestly disgusted by how they have tried to smear environmentalists and anyone that corrects their misinformation. Here’s my latest substack debunking them…again 😩 open.substack.com/pub/danicapr...

Geography for Local Nature Recovery Strategies differs a little from from the forthcoming Spatial Development Strategies (SDSs need "to take account of LNRSs). eg Milton Keynes in with Bucks for nature and Beds for strategic planning

My mom found this school assignment where we had to write our future obituaries. That’s a pretty morbid task for a child, but it was fun to see what I wanted my legacy to be. I’m supposed to save over 300 endangered species before I die peacefully in my sleep at the age of 87. 😂

As is so often the case bats are great indicators of the health of the environment which we all benefit from. Light pollution can negatively impact wildlife and people. www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/t...

Had a lovely day clearing Scrub to make room for wildflowers with Manor Woods Valley Group and GoodGym 💚 (Song choice was deliberate of course 😂)

We should all follow Danica’s lead of hidden questions in our letters to our elected representatives! 😬 Important read.

When I emailed my MP asking her to sign the motion to protect habitats regulations I got a dismissive boilerplate response. I’ve heard this is standard for most Labour ministers so I thought it might be helpful to deconstruct the reply in a substack post open.substack.com/pub/danicapr...

Really proud to be the LGBT+ Trailblazer of the year. And so proud of the real trailblazers - like my boyfriend - who works in palliative care. Our NHS workers, our teachers, our cleaners. The people who keep our country running. And LGBT+ History month matters. Representation matters. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The Fingleton Review could strip away vital protections for Dorset’s wildlife - from chalk streams to heathlands and ancient woods. ⚠️ Dorset Wildlife Trust's Chief Exec outlines why this matters and how you can speak up.👉 bit.ly/3NpTcNu ~ Jack 📸 Mark Heighes

The only problem is I have checked and Bat Conservation Trust did not make a £180,000 grant as stated in the Nuclear Review. If the facts are wrong on that how can you believe anything else? Egregious!

This week's ECO Chamber is live ⚡ with special guest Georgia Dent of the Somerset Wildlife Trust giving her views on the Fingleton Review. "You can't just destroy [nature] and then stick a few trees in at the end and go, 'Look, we've covered off the biodiversity.' Listen now: 🎧 pod.fo/e/3638a4

UK nature is declining fast, yet the Fingleton Review proposes weakening vital protections. Wildlife can’t afford more loss. These plans aren’t law .. yet. Sign our letter to Ed Miliband to let your MP know you care https://action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/183790/action/1?ea.tracking.id=X

Have you got 10 mins to add your voice to those warning the Government about the dangers of accepting the Fingleton review? It recommends that protections for nature are weakened so developers can worry less about damaging important sites for wildlife. www.wildlifetrusts.org/get-involved...

"Together we can pull back the wizard’s curtain to reveal what lies behind it – corporate lobbyists seeking boosted profits, regardless of public cost. As ecological disaster comes closer, the Government must stand with the public and see through the deregulation conjuring trick."

This is good on the deliberate mistruths to attack protections for nature. Fingleton Review said Hinckley Point mitigations "will save just few hundred fish per year. EA’s figs show the actual figures to be 8,000 times higher". Cost of mitigation claimed to be £700m. Actual cost 7% of that figure.

Well at least someone inside the tent disagrees with them (I saw Sam's mate Ben Southwood waxing lyrical about the Fingleton Review on his Substack the other day) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Isn't it great that we've got IEA alumnus like Sam Bowman leading so much of the conversation on industrial strategy and how to green the economy

Despite missing all these targets the Fingleton Review will consider weakening legal protection for designated wildlife sites. This Labour government relentlessly attacks nature. www.wildlifetrusts.org/get-involved...

🦇 Wildlife and natural places are under pressure from development, climate change and habitat loss - and yet a new report, the Fingleton Review, suggests weakening the protections that help keep what remains safe. Help wildlife by adding your voice now: action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/183790/...

The proposed Fingleton Review could weaken the few nature protections we have left, David Jobbins points out. Prioritising cost-cutting for developers over the survival of rare species could cause an environmental catastrophe. eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

And while you're there enjoying Amwell, bear in mind that Reform would scrap the Habitat Regulations that designate this nature reserve as a Special Protection Area. Meanwhile, Labour's Fingleton Review also threatens to weaken the Habitat Regulations.

The government is deciding whether to follow these recommendations. They can either weaken protections or safeguard these landscapes for future generations. We're supporting The Wildlife Trusts Nuclear Regulatory Review Campaign to help stop the nature crisis becoming a catastrophe 👇 [2/2]

It’s time to stand up for our Protected Landscapes. The Fingleton Review of nuclear regulation calls for weakening the protections that currently require councils to support and defend National Parks and National Landscapes. [1/2]

The energy department, run by Ed Miliband, has admitted that it cannot name a single national park where regulations are holding up nuclear projects, despite a review urging that protections for the landscapes be reduced. Latest on Fingleton review www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

For years, Starmer's critics on the left have warned that he was trashing Labour values, kowtowing to the rich and powerful while hurting the poor and the living world. Every time, people here and elsewhere leapt up to call us "closet Tories" and "Reform enablers". Funny how they've gone so quiet.

🦇 Bats are long-lived mammals which reproduce slowly: each female can only produce one baby per year and not all females will have babies each year. For this reason their populations are very slow to grow or recover their numbers. www.bats.org.uk/about-bats Image (c) Daniel Hargreaves

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Just want to say thank you to everyone who showed up for ICEOUT this weekend. All across the country (from small towns to big cities) people came out, even in the freezing cold. A lot of this was organized by everyday people in their own communities, and that matters.

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay - wetlands provide vital habitats for bat species in the UK with many being particularly reliant on clean waterbodies for their survival. Healthy wetlands are essential for people, #bats🦇 and other #wildlife.
