The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill is a welcome shift of power closer to communities. But it doesn’t equip devolved authorities and communities to deal with the biggest risks they now face - we are asking for key amendments to make sure it does. www.hiwwt.org.uk/english-devo....

The Government has partially backed away from weakening Biodiversity Net Gain – but nature still loses out. Exempting developments under 0.2ha risks hollowing out one of England’s most important nature protections🐝🌱 1/4🧵

🚨 CODE RED FOR NATURE 🚨 We are worried that Gov will weaken Biodiversity Net Gain — or remove small sites entirely! Gutting BNG would: ❌ collapse investment ❌ stall nature recovery ❌ send a catastrophic signal to markets This cannot happen.

Instead of dancing to the tune of industry lobbyists they should listen to the science and the experts and adopt a nature-positive economic strategy rather than continue on this destructive path.

Nature-friendly farming support—cut. Biodiversity Net Gain—gutted. Habitat protections—weakened for development. But electoral consequences coming. A third of voters chose candidates based on a party's environmental policies. @craigbennett3.bsky.social

Labour seem determined to wreck what’s left of our natural world. So many broken promises. www.wildlifetrusts.org/news/nightma....

An important read for anyone who cares about nature in the UK!

"We cannot afford to choose between development and nature." Tessa Wardley from @theriverstrust.bsky.social calls out the government for perpetuating misinformation about nature as a blocker to development, using the 'fish disco' controversy as a prime example.⤵️

"Nature is not a ‘nice to have’; it is critical national infrastructure”🌿 -The message Prof Nathalie Seddon delivered to over 1000 MPs, peers & leaders at the UK’s first-ever National Emergency Briefing on the Nature & Climate crisis #neb2025 ➡️ www.naturebasedsolutionsinitiative.org/news/uk-nati...

The Red Warning lights are on. Norfolk's iconic River #Wensum is in a sorry state & failing as a protected site. Local people & Anglers have watched the Wensum decline over decades & are ready to fight for the river they love. Hello Bluesky from #WensumRiverkin: See: share.google/9cx6ClJrMBIM...

Nitrogen fertiliser corporations do not feed the world, they fail it. For too long, they have put their profits before our Earth and our food. We need governments to set real nitrogen reduction targets to stop this harmful industry exhausting our earth. foodrise.org.uk/exhausted-ea... (5/5)

We're in a national emergency, but we're not talking or acting as if we are. This dangerous disconnect is why we convened the @nebriefing.bsky.social. Our goal was to reset the national conversation on the climate and nature crises, cutting through the sea of misinformation holding us back. ⬇️

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

As renewables eat into the energy market + EVs reduce demand for petrol, fossil fuel firms aim to step up production of plastics + chemicals made from oil + gas. By mid-century, half of growth in demand for oil is predicted to come from making more plastic + chemicals. A must read 👇🏾

Thank you all who emailed their MP about protecting nature in the #PIB. We're disappointed that MPs didn't vote the way we hoped but we’re not giving up. Debates continue and we’re urging MPs to make the right decision for nature. Please share & sign the e-action buff.ly/eDrWPi9 📸Russell Savory

Awful to see this plastic pollution at Rye Harbour. Devastating.

We need to ensure our elected officials are acting on the best intelligence when it comes to tackling the climate crisis . It's why I'm opening the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November , ensure your MP is attending at nebriefing.org

This is exactly what we’ve been saying for months and have the evidence to back it up. Unlike the government who have zero evidence or justification for their approach. They are basically destroying what’s left of our wildlife to line the pockets of the big housing companies.

BY ME at #HouseMagazine at #PoliticsHome The #PlanningAndInfrastructureBill #PiB is a microcosm of where #Labour is getting it wrong... www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

If you’re not a member of the @greenparty.org.uk yet why not? Fantastic interview from @zackpolanski.bsky.social showing just how sensible Green Party policies are - and what a brilliant leader Zack is 💚💪🌱 making hope normal again.

This what we’re up against. Our essential natural world (and us who wish to defend it) portrayed as traitors and blockers. Oh MHCLG you’ve got this so wrong. I’ll say it again NATURE IS NOT THE REASON FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS - fix what’s really wrong and stop blaming wildlife for your failures.

Don’t want to gloat but 🙄
