The government’s new Planning Bill is nothing short of a death sentence for badgers. 👉 If this Bill passes, developers will have the legal power to kill badgers if they’re seen as an obstacle to building projects. 📢 Use our quick tool to email your MP: protectthewild.org.uk/stop-the-pla...

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this. Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

Don't let them destroy our last wild forests. Did you know that the Trump administration is threatening protections for nearly 60 million acres of our wildest forests?

In addition, all the big box stores start stocking plants even in areas that are still freezing at night. I usually go in before a freeze to rescue some of the doomed flowers and vegetables. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

#VegetationManagement plan for 39,300 acres of Marin County coastline will kill thousands of trees & tens of thousands of shrubs, leaving forests less healthy & more wildfire prone. Instead, spend $$ on home hardening @MarinWildfire bit.ly/474WLk4

Great news this week: A heinous, aggressive mining company that pushed for years to mine hundreds of acres right next to one of our national treasures, the Okefenokee Swamp, has been defeated. It looked like they'd win, but citizen and eco org action resulted, finally, in the company backing off.

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

Don't usually repost the same thing twice, but seriously, this shit needs to be stopped. The Fed Chair's already saying how so many people will no longer be able to get mortgages cause insurers don't insure high risk homes (fires, floods,...). What do you think this will do?

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

A day after this article pointed out that there's no Democrat challenging GOP sheriffs in Virginia's two largest cities (amid heightened ties between sheriffs & ICE) well, nothing has changed—11 days until deadline. But one Dem running for LG shared it accusing his party of 'political malpractice."

Some brilliant news to end the week 😊

🚨Wolves are under attack and need your help! 🚨 The House could soon vote on HR 845. The bill seeks to reinstate the Trump admin's 2020 gray wolf delisting rule + prevents judicial review. If this bill passes, wolves will be slaughtered. Call on your reps to vote NO on HR 845 ➡️ bit.ly/43UB7gG

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”
