This group of MPs believes that taking powers away from @NaturalEngland wouldn’t ‘lose #nature any protections’ But they also *openly say* it allows Gov to consider “economic factors” They’re meant to be Sites of **Scientific Interest** for a reason (hint: not economic reasons)
REVEALED: 18 Tory MPs have written to Environment Secretary @SteveBarclay urging him to gut @NaturalEngland’s powers to create nature reserves (SSSIs) This latest #AttackOnNature must not succeed (Thanks to @jgmarshallwrite for obtaining the letter) Thread 1/

"The new Kunming-Montreal #GlobalBiodiversityFramework has passed, but there are important concerns to be addressed as it was clear in the plenary it doesn't have unanimous support" - @SSCP_DTP's @henry_grub on the closure of @UNBiodiversity's #COP15
DRC says it is unable to support the adoption of the Global Biodiversity Framework, disappointed with the state of the finance target, wants new fund to be operationalised by the end of COP15, says developed countries should be responsible for financing implementation. #COP15

At #COP15 we must set ambitious targets for 2030 to start reversing #biodiversity loss immediately. Achieving targets requires focusing on the key drivers of loss: overconsumption 👉Watch @dobura, @TanyaMSteele & @henry_grub’s press conference @cbd_cop15
