The introduction of statutory nature targets through the Natural Environment Bill could be game changing - but this Bill also introduces new powers to allow ministers to amend, revoke or repeal the Habs Regs, a huge step backwards @TheENDSReportπŸ‘‡ https://t.co/XvZa1MgGlX

Great to be part of @RSPBScotland’s Fringe event today at #SNP24 - also joined by @GillianMSP @ArielBrunner and Professor Des Thomson. πŸͺΆWith 1/9 species facing the threat of extinction, the Scottish Government must bring forward legally binding nature recovery targets.

Extraordinary how the same vested interest groups that think it's ok to release 60 million birds of a non-native invasive species into the British countryside every year... ...are very often the same people that go apoplectic at the idea of releasing 2-3 native beavers

πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» By 2026, the millions of plants sold by B&Q every year will be 100% #peatfree. Legislation to ban peat sales would reward innovation and investment of this kind - a lack of legislation penalises it.

Did you know? All our bagged compost has been peat-free since 2023 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ And by 2026, all our plants will be 100% peat-free too. We've also partnered with @WoodlandTrust to help restore 279 acres of upland peat bog in North Yorkshire. But why? Find out here: https://t.co/Q9jZmIdV5i

Ending the sale of horticultural peat has overwhelming public support - which ever party wins the general election must take urgent action to end this damaging practice and deliver on this long standing commitment. 3/3

The sale of peat compost and peat-containing garden products will now remain legal across England. UK peatlands store more carbon than the forests of theΒ UK, Germany and France combined - keeping peat in the ground is absolutely critical to combatting climate change. 2/3

Banning the sale of peat compost this year was a clear test of the UK Government’s commitment to tackling the nature and climate crises. Sadly, it’s a test they have failed. 1/3
