⚠️ Beavers in England are at risk ⚠️ Yesterday, UK Gov reneged on their commitment to give them legal protection. This is yet another broken promise. RT to join us in letting @VictoriaPrentis @DefraGovUK know that it’s not good enough. (1/4) wildlifetrusts.org/news/beav…

I have £5000 for anyone who provides information on this crime which leads to a successful conviction. Another £5000 if the culprit goes to prison.

Hello @Tesco we’ve been here before haven’t we ? Please fast track the solution which was to take down the nets , put up cameras and screens in the store and show your customers that you care about birds in the biodiversity crisis we sadly find ourselves in . Thanks . Please RT

Lots of councils needlessly cutting flower-rich verges and green spaces at the moment. Please stop! You are killing tens of thousands of flowers, food for pollinators. This includes you, @PowysCC and @CyngorGwynedd

All this destruction to save just 20minutes.
We are heartbroken to announce that today HS2 Ltd will be taking legal possession of our Calvert Jubilee nature reserve for future clearance works. For 10 years we have fought long and hard against this. We are calling on govt to stop and rethink bbowt.org.uk/news/hs2-nature…

So @thameswater spend £2.8 million just to get ride of one CEO and £12.6 million to hire another, paid over three years. Total cost £15.4 million. Now how many chalk streams could you save with that I wonder?

Like lots of you, we're looking forward to many of our local businesses reopening this weekend, but we must all continue doing our bit to prevent the spread of the virus. If you're unsure about the changes to the lockdown measures, visit bit.ly/2Zmnzb2 #COVID19

Good morning! We launched a crowdfunder yesterday - it has raised £16,000+ already. Thank you so much. We challenge the lawfulness of licences issued by @NaturalEngland for Badger cull. Free shooting, as licensed, is palpably inhumane, we say. ow.ly/BlW250Am1Ny
