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 @TheENDSReportπ https://t.co/XvZa1MgGlX

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

ππ»ππ»ππ» 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 ππΌ 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

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 Governmentβs commitment to tackling the nature and climate crises. Sadly, itβs a test they have failed. 1/3
