Did you know that we created the world’s first conservation breeding population of black-tailed godwits at WWT Slimbridge? Since 2017, we’ve rescued and incubated 304 eggs and released 235 birds into the wild. But this work must continue...

‘Radical Approach to Flooding in the UK, Give Land Back to Nature’ @nytimes Somerset’s amazing and vast Steart Marshes wetland restoration project draws continual international attention. Go visit! 👏 @WWTSteart nytimes.com/2024/10/22/world…

A Radical Approach to Flooding in England: Give Land Back to the Sea (Published 2024)

When a huge tract of land on the Somerset coast was deliberately flooded, the project was slammed as “ridiculous” by a local lawmaker. But the results have been transformative.

Good news for godwits. 😍 A new generation of black-tailed godwits has been hatched by experts at @WWTworldwide, supported by funding from Natural England’s Species Recovery Programme. wwt.org.uk/news-and-stories/… 📷Georgina Jarman, WWT

Having spent centuries seeking to get water off the land as quickly as possible, we now need to look at ways to keep more of it for longer, for wildlife, farming & public supply. Wetlands are part of the solution, bringing multiple benefits alongside resilience to climate change.

What I love about this story is 1. It’s about hope, we can find solutions 2. It’s about collaboration 3. It’s about giving space to partners voices. They all matter. No 3. matters especially. Organisations shouting up for each other’s hard work really does matter.

A good news story for your weekend - corncrake numbers are rising at @WWTWelney thanks to chicks raised by @Pensthorpe and our careful management of the wet grassland habitat they rely on. Crex crex!👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy3…

Delighted to visit a spiritual home of conservation in England: @WWTworldwide Slimbridge. Such great work going on to help stem the decline of gorgeous waders. The Black-tailed Godwit happens to be a species for which I recorded a Tweet Of The Day bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09pn78…
