IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Plse ask you MP to lobby for it now. 🙏

Great to see momentum continuing to grow for introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE. It’s pretty much ready to go & just needs green light from government. A brilliant way to restore nature, improve mental health & fill green skills gap ⁦Mary Colwell⁩ theguardian.com/environment/20…

Good to see the ⁦The Guardian picking this up. Come on Labour! ⁩ Launch natural history GCSE in England now, campaigners urge Labour | Conservation | The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…
