The UK Government has given the green light for licensed #beaver reintroductions into the wild! And what timing—beavers have just been released into an enclosed site right here in #Shrewsbury! 💚 Are you as excited as we are? 👀 shropshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/news/beavers-a…

Did you see our Chief Executive Craig Bennett on Channel 4 News speaking about a critical risk facing nature? 📣 UK Government promised to protect nature – but new changes to the planning system threaten to do the opposite. More 👇 wildlifetrusts.org/news/planning-…

UK Government promised voters they would “protect nature’ and ‘ensure…new towns and housebuilding include nature at their heart’. So why are new planning changes weakening environmental protections for developments? 😕🧵 (1/5) #UKPolitics #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment

We’ve tried to work with Ministers. We’ve worked tirelessly to highlight gaps for nature in the Bill and propose amendments to the wording. We’ve done everything possible to work constructively with the Government but our efforts have just been ignored. Enough is enough. (4/5)

We’ve heard the Chancellor and Prime Minister blaming bats, newts and spiders for holding up housebuilding. And the new Planning & Infrastructure Bill continues that theme – nature-friendly amendments have been rejected so we’re headed for weaker environmental protections⚠️ (2/5)

Shropshire Wildlife Trust (@shropswildlife) 's Twitter Profile Photo

If the Government won’t change the wording in the Bill, then this whole section - which weakens protections for the environment – must be scrapped. We need your help. Stand up for nature by using our simple form to email your MP and the Chancellor: action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/171483/ac… (5/5)

The thing is… nature isn’t even a blocker to development! New research shows that great crested newts and bats were a factor in only a tiny percentage of planning appeals in the last few years. Why is nature being used as a scapegoat? (3/5)

🦡We are deeply disappointed the GOV.UK has approved the continuation of badger culls despite The Labour Party's own manifesto commitment to end this “ineffective” policy. (1/2)

It’s not beavers vs farmers – it’s about working together 🦫 At #Groundswell, we heard from farmer Richard Allan that with the right support, farmers and nature can thrive side by side. Beavers deliver huge societal benefits and with the right support, farmers can benefit too.
