So pleased to see this research, which confirms what we have suspected for years. As well as the appalling loss of nature, you have to ask yourself, how many other planning conditions aren’t being delivered? What other corners are being cut?

On a day when house building is in the news, we publish a new report - LOST NATURE. In it, we asked if housing developers have been delivering their ecological commitments. Answer: NO. Read the report here: wildjustice.org.uk/general/l… 1/8

Fab time visiting the seals at Donna Nook today and chatting to the very knowledgeable ⁦@LincsWildlife⁩ volunteers. Thanks ⁦@geedubaya⁩ for letting me use your photo, my phone camera just doesn’t do them justice!

'Fossil fuel + other petrochemical companies have used "the false promise of plastic recycling" to increase virgin-plastic production exponentially over the past six decades.' 99% of plastics are made from chemicals sources from fossil fuels.🧵1/7 search.app?link=https%3A%2F%…

I wrote this for the @guardian in 2015. Tragically, it is still very relevant, and yet rarely discussed... theguardian.com/environment/…

Failure to act on climate change means an even bigger refugee crisis

Global warming does not cause the conflicts that have caused mass movement of people, but it would be wrong to say it does not contribute

Day 24 of #30DaysWild - found this little guy on the way back from the station last night. A fox that was investigating disappeared off as we approached. Shame there were no hedgehog highways in this road but eventually Hedgie snuffled off to safety 💚🦔😍💚

Well said and so true. Unless we #RestoreNatureNow the future is a going to be a scary place.

Heading up to London for the #RestoreNatureNow march. Hoping for more than empty promises from the next government.

The biggest, most existential issue facing our species is being totally ignored in the election debate. Today’s march to #RestoreNatureNow will be a celebration of nature but also an expression of our grief & anger - the lack of leadership is unforgivable theguardian.com/environment/…

Restore Nature Now: thousands to march in London calling for urgent action

Mainstream groups including National Trust and RSPB will join hunt saboteurs and direct action activists for first time

Day 18 of #30DaysWild, I was in #Brighton so I did a little seagull safari. Brighton seagulls are bold! You wouldn’t think it to see them here, but Herring Gulls aren’t doing so well in the wider world, which is one reason they hang around here pinching your chips!

Day 17: I’ve been looking out for insects for #30DaysWild, don’t know if it’s the weather but there seems to be way less in the garden this year. Swollen thigh beetle, bumblebee, fly pretending to be a bee, mystery fly, plus a🕷️family in the kitchen😬

Farming, food and nature – a triple challenge for this election | The Wildlife Trusts

Politicians are notoriously wary of talking about food. Nervous that anything they say publicly about changing the system will be construed as hiking prices of, or affecting access to, the basic...

Day12 of #30DaysWild, made some octopus friends with a four year old. Took a bit of convincing that they needed 8 legs - turns out most pictures for children only give them 6. What’s that about 🤔🐙

A walk by the sea on Day 8 of #30DaysWild to celebrate #WorldOceansDay. You can see all the way to Worthing Pier this evening, and beyond to the Kingmere Marine Conservation Zone where Black Sea Bream are building their lunar pad nests.
