Here's our latest blog from @rspbcymru.bsky.social on if our most at-risk and precious species are really being helped by sites designated for them. SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, 'designated landscapes', nature reserves... whatever you call them, how are they doing for nature? waleslink.org/protected-si...

We’re here to support the excellent @nffn.bsky.social Wales with their Weatherproof Farming asks. @llyrgruffydd.bsky.social is sponsoring the event, which highlights the needs of farmers in adapting to more unpredictable weather patterns - flooding, dry summers & unpredictable winters.

This is really problematic; the only bid for being the Management Organisation for a new Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in Wales objects to the parameters Ministers have set for a better, more progressive DRS (than the UK's) that includes glass & container re-use. www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/welsh-d...

Important report from @natreswales.bsky.social: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Since 2000, "Wales has already witnessed the loss of 11 species, with the European turtle dove and belted beauty moth becoming geographically extinct. The Species in Peril report warns others could face a similar fate".

Green Alliance's Ruth Chambers argues that the new Environment Bill and the OEGW could fill our environmental governance gap, but the new body must be given the legal duty and resources to ensure its independence and delivery. 👉 https://ow.ly/VaqC50XsYAX Wales Environment Link #thewelshagenda

Great blog from @ruthchambers.bsky.social today on amendments needed to the Environment Bill: "It is essential that the OEGW’s independence from the Welsh Government is watertight, something which the bill currently fails to secure." www.iwa.wales/agenda/2025/... #WeNeedNature #AngenNatur

It's essential to the wellbeing of our rural economies and that of our natural environment that the economic modelling for the SFS is based on up-to-date data, and that it considers the scheme as a whole. The SFS has been watered down plenty. Enough.

Yesterday, Welsh Gov published its economic modelling for the Sustainable Farming Scheme. The analysis is far from robust, in our opinion, and only looks at the universal layer's (the entry level) impact on farms, not the Scheme as a whole. Check out our response ⬇️ waleslink.org/business-cas...

Breaking News 📢 Sewage pours into rivers of English and Welsh National Parks at twice rate elsewhere Our new report in partnership with @theriverstrust.bsky.social reveals that 57% of rivers in National Parks fail to meet good ecological status 📉 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You can be part of the solution 🤝 Find out more about the Declaration on our website: www.bumblebeeconservation.org/news/declara... 📢 Please share this thread to help build momentum! 5/5

What the Declaration calls for: 🌱Restore insect-friendly habitats ⛔ Cut harmful pesticide use 🛡️ Protect key species and ecosystems 🔬 Invest in science and education 📈 Make the UK a leader in insect recovery 4/5

UK insect populations are plummeting: 🐝 Bumblebees declined by 22.5% in 2024 – the worst year on record. 🦋 Butterflies also had their worst year on record in 2024 and have struggled to bounce back in 2025. 🪰 Flying insects have fallen by 63% since 2021. 3/5

Why it matters: 🐝 Insects are essential for our world to function. 🐞They pollinate crops and wild plants, recycle nutrients, maintain healthy soils, control pests, and form the base of the food web for birds, bats, fish, and other wildlife. 2/5

Yesterday, the UK’s leading insect conservation charities launched the Declaration on the UK Insect Declines Crisis at the @WildSummitUK🚨 This united front calls for change across governments, land managers, businesses, and the public. @savebutterflies.bsky.social 1/5

As the global need for sustainable food intensifies, regenerative agriculture as a concept has become politically and economically loaded. We look at the evidence in our report 👇 🧪🌎🌿 @wildsummituk.bsky.social #wildsummitUK #naturefriendlyfarming www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/is-r...

Nature underpins economic growth worth £1.8 trillion, loss of nature could lead to a 12% loss of GDP. Nature needs to move even further up the political agenda. #WildSummitUK
