Powerful morning of gut-punching presentations on reality of #climate & nature emergency from leading scientists speaking at packed #nationalemergencybriefing. Overwhelmingly clear we can only make the necessary transition if social justice & equity are at its heart @nebriefing

🌳Vast areas of our most vital habitat are at risk of being lost forever. Will you join Dame Judi Dench & @wildcardrewild in calling for @DefraGovUK to fund the restoration of our publicly owned ancient woodlands? https://t.co/IkShpXmHYV via @38degrees

Ancient woodlands are vanishing – and with them, some of our most loved and endangered wildlife. Over 100,000 acres of our public forests used to be ancient woodland - that’s bigger than the Isle...

🤯3.5 MILLION tonnes of #toxicsludge are being dumped on UK farmland. This isn’t recycling. It’s pollution, and water companies are cashing in again. They created this toxic sludge. Now they must pay to clean up their mess.👇 ✍️Sign the petition, TODAY: https://t.co/gbtUUlJ7Nz

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care
BAD NEWS💔if the vote had taken place earlier we would have won-Tories (majority) whipped YES but by the time of the vote, support had gone home just like 2 years ago. It is an AGONISING reality. Tell steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk what you think. GUTTED. Labour: what a betrayal 😡

These are the people who blocked the swift brick amendment last night. 102 Labour Peers thanks to the rather extreme 3 line whip which just goes to show how much #Labour do NOT want to help nature let alone swifts. Normally a 3 line whip is used for fairly extreme amendments.

Nick Robinson interviewing David Henderson of Water UK on @BBCr4today. Water UK are calling for a ban on PFAS forever chemicals as levels in English drinking water sources continue to climb: https://t.co/NzuLqLClOc
"There is no need to use them." Water UK's David Henderson says so-called forever chemicals used in products for their water and stain-resistant properties should be banned, after water companies were ordered to tackle potentially harmful levels. #R4Today

Apparently I’m being over dramatic. This is 3 years of my life- it isn’t my job. I’ve done it solo & unfunded & we came SO close yday. Maybe we are a nation of stiff upper lips but one thing is true: only if we care will we act.
Living a nightmare. We haven’t got to the tipping point yet 3 years into the swift brick campaign. I hope you’re furious. Go see your MP. Please. People power will work. Tell steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk how you feel too. The govt has betrayed swifts.

Swifts nested at eye-level under Cotswold stone tiles on our last house. Gangs of them used to scream round the place, it was exhilarating. I loved them.
There’s something v wrong when someone with authority touts their opinion as fact.Lord Krebs, you say swift bricks don’t work & that swifts only nest higher than houses & only with open access.Err, have you been living under a rock?Our home is their home. @ZacGoldsmith

A WIN FOR CHALK STREAMS 🙌 The House of Lords has voted to include chalk stream protections in the Planning Bill! ⚠️ However, MPs could still scrap the amendment when the Bill returns to the Commons. 👉 Act now: write to your MP & urge them to support chalk stream protections!

Some of our world’s most important bees are under threat — but now a quiet revolution is stirring: Peru could grant these bees legal #NatureRights to exist and flourish! Indigenous communities are leading the charge — let’s rise with them. Join now:

There is no escape on this #PoisonedPlanet. "Pesticides are ubiquitous, not only in agricultural areas but also in environments far from crop fields". And we're just starting to grasp implications for #PublicHealth

This is so exciting - and follows the example of many other countries that already have recognition of nature rights in their constitutions. It’s time to give Nature a voice in law- Go @natalieben! @NaturesRights 🎄🌻 💚

Some say spraying #glyphosate on crops is ‘fine.’ Is it really? Great response to the New York Times op-ed "Spraying Roundup on Crops Is Fine. Really" that demolishes it point by point
