Scientists have definitive proof that ghosts exist!👻 But this is no phantom, and no horror story: the Critically Endangered Giant Salmon Carp – the Mekong Ghost – has been recorded for the first time since 2005 signalling fresh hope for the Mekong region shoalconservation.org/mekong-ghost-r…

Join us tomorrow (Nov 3rd) at 11am, Albert Embankment, London to March for Clean Water! The state of our freshwater ecosystems are shocking - pollution, sewage, drainage - causing wildlife to suffer immensely. The biggest tool you have is your voice, so turn up and shout loudly! 💙🚨

Today in London, thousands of protesters took to the streets to hold the UK government accountable for its repeated failings in cleaning up the sh*tty state of the nation’s rivers and coast 💩 🤢 🧵 1/3

The UK’s waters are among the worst in Europe in terms of ecological health, with sewage and agricultural effluent pouring into them daily, putting immense pressure on the life support systems that species need to survive. 🧵 2/3

The time for action is long overdue. We demand policy change NOW to halt the drastic decline in water health, before the life is drained from them. #marchforcleanwater #ukrivers #riveraction 🧵 3/3

The rivers in the UK have been neglected by the very companies that we pay to keep them healthy. The people of the UK have had enough. Rivers and freshwater systems all across the world are similarly neglected. We need to pay attention to freshwater now. #marchforcleanwater

We’re very excited to announce that we’re joining a partnership with EagleReintroductionWales, @Durrellwildlife and Gwent Wildlife Trust, to explore the possibility of reintroducing white-tailed eagles to Wales and the Severn Estuary. 🦅 🧵(1/4)

Many thanks to Liz Bonnin 💙 for profiling freshwater species on Easter Sunday on the BBC. We need more wonderful champions to INSPIRE action for fish and other overlooked aquatic species. SHOAL
