Approving banned pesticide for 4th year in a row shows that the ban is a sham👎 These toxic pollutants add to a #ChemicalCocktail that puts both wildlife & public health at risk🐝💚 Government must uphold the ban & fund nature-friendly farming practices

Crimes against bats, badgers and birds of prey were up almost 1/4 last year in England & Wales. We need better recording & reporting, more enforcement-funding, harsher penalties & specialist prosecutors to help beat #WildlifeCrime
