By me for @TheCanaryUK: COP30 Brazil — the hypocrisy of promoting climate leadership while pushing highways, oil projects, and deregulation that threaten the Amazon.

#Malta continues to allow thousands of finches to be trapped, pretending it's 'science.' The truth: blatant wildlife crime & black market trade. ➡️ 22 poachers reported ➡️ 32 nets gone ➡️ 377 birds freed The official trapping season runs until Dec 20th. The EU must act NOW.

This isn't just a few individuals - it's organised wildlife crime! On weekends, gangs illegally shoot protected species like nightjars and owls during migration. In Sept, the army raided the notorious Danniyeh hills hotspot. Thankfully enforcement efforts are increasing!

Cutting the insulation schemes that are one of the best ways to permanently reduce energy bills for low income families would be an eyewateringly daft & counterproductive way of seeking to reduce energy bills, as well as driving up emissions & job cuts 🙄

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 😡

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. https://t.co/QiVFytU6yS

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

Watch this from Tik Tok. Not only are we degrading young people’s futures, we’re also destroying their mental health. The general silence from media and government is unforgivable

So here it is. The education review that sets the agenda. Where is the long awaited emphasis on nature? We will protect what we love, we will love what we understand. We will understand what we are taught. Nowhere is that recognised. Nowhere. We must have a GCSE in Natural

🚨 MAJOR VICTORY against illegal bird trapping in #Lebanon Lebanese Security Forces & our Anti Poaching Unit dismantled 52 nets (nearly 8000m²!) in a huge joint sting. This operation saves tens of thousands of migratory birds. Criminal proceedings opened against 8 suspects!

At last there’s an actual plan on the table to save the world’s remaining tropical forests, on which we all depend. It doesn’t need grants or Aid. It is a fund, with the first tranche provided (as an investment) by govts, and the remainder - the vast majority - by the private

#Antarctica A humpback whale killed by Norway’s krill fleet — they trawl straight through whale feeding grounds, throwing dead and dying bycatch overboard as they plunder. Russia has just arrested an eminent Ukrainian biologist who pleads for curbs on Antarctic krill fishing

These 2 women have broken my💔One is a role model in my 📕 about this campaign, her speech FOR swift bricks 2 years ago, extremely powerful. The other has supported from the start (she used to be the CEO of the RSPB!) It’s gutting they voted AGAINST swift bricks. I believed them

One of these Peers is the former CEO of …… the RSPB. Talk about 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.

Amidst the anti-poaching strike, we successfully freed 27 live birds - inc. beautiful Redstarts, Blackcaps & other Warblers unharmed from the fine mesh traps. Every life matters. 📍 Total of ~160 nets dismantled this autumn! Big thanks to everyone involved in the operation!
