The Chancellor spoke of ‘fixing the foundations.’ But no foundation is more vital – or more at risk – than nature. It underpins our health, our economy, and our food security. The government must continue to invest in its recovery: because there is no future without it. 🍃

For months, alongside farmers, supporters, and nature groups, we’ve made the case for protecting nature-friendly farming. Today, we’re pleased to see HM Treasury has listened: the nature-friendly farming budget has been maintained. This is a crucial step, but nature needs more...

A moment that changed me: I saw my first wild water bear – and snapped out of my despair at the world
I was in anguish over the climate crisis, ecological devastation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But this almost indestructible little creature gave me a lesson in resilience

We’ve just delivered a message to Downing Street, backed by over 100,000 of you.‼️ Farmers, NGOs and the public are standing together to demand action. UK Government, this is a call you can't afford to ignore. Any cut now would be a disaster for farming and nature.

With the state of the world as it is right now, we can all do with a timeline cleanser - and here's the ultimate one, the very Mount Olympus of slow TV: The Great Elk (or Moose, if you're North American) Migration! 🧵 It's an annual Swedish TV event following the migration of elk (Alces alces)

In the back and forth over whether the UK can afford £28bn/year of productivity enhancing green investment, I note that one fossil fuel company - Shell - made £22bn in profit last year. The UK can afford £28bn. If anything, it can't afford not to spend it
