This is massive, and horrific. National Farmers' Union is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media." On the contrary, please RT. campaigns.nfuonline.com/page/72051/pet…

Green spaces in urban habitats have great potential for supporting lots of #wildlife and improving people’s #wellbeing. We hope housing providers across the UK will use the new #Biodiversity toolkit available at shgroup.org.uk/toolkit - pls share! #urban #GreenSpaces #housing

My water supplier, Severn Trent, has been sending messages telling people to use less water in the #UKHeatwave. As a result, my neighbours have been worried about using water on days so hot, they're a national emergency. Let me tell you some things about Severn Trent. 🧵

Found this beautiful green oasis in Cambridge recently. There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are currently over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this...

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

18months ago I approached Quinn Estates to ask them to plant several wildflower strips and dozens of native hedgerows around one of their new build estate. Now it’s happened and this is a glimpse of one area. Why can’t more developers do this? If you like pls RT…

Imagine cruel people in their nice cosy homes take all the time and effort to put up spikes in Trees so that the little birds looking for shelter from the cold wind rain and heat in Trees as nature intended are met with cruel spikes to hurt them and leave them with no shelter

Before and after photos. Veteran Ivy destroyed at a nature reserve, by those tasked with 'managing' the site. Ecological vandalism, perpetrated by the very people entrusted with protecting our precious countryside. #ecology #biodiversity #ecocide

Striking change in the way opportunistic records are collected. The blue line shows the number of observations per visit (what a person sees on a day), the orange line the number of species, all in NL. 1990s: paper/excel, 2000s: website. 2010s: apps, 2020s: obsidentify.
