Wetlands are critical to fight biodiversity loss & tackle the climate crisis - yet they are one of the world's most threatened habitats.

We must end our war on nature and nurse it back to health. #WorldWetlandsDay

[Wetlands International @WetlandsInt]

We need wetlands more than we realise.
They -
💧 Provide freshwater,
🦩 Sustain biodiversity,
🌊 Protect us against disasters,
🫁 Ensure health and prosperity.
🌱 Store carbon, &
🌍 Safeguard our home.

Celebrating these ecosystem superheroes on #WorldWetlandsDay.

Hey @Citi, you can’t commit to achieving net zero by 2030 & continue to be a major financier of oil & gas expansion in the Amazon biome. You're deliberately funding Indigenous rights violations & Amazon destruction. It's time to #ExitAmazonOilAndGas, now

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

In 2011 govt aimed to end peat use by 2020. It failed. Now it launches a lengthy consultation & "aims" to end peat use by 2024, while admitting it will still allow peat extraction to continue. Which bit of "climate emergency" don't they understand?

@Dael_Sassoon Congratulations Dael!

Pls help save the Mount Kalahbasyon rainforest in the Philippines, which is under threat of destruction for mining and logging. The local tribal leader and NGO are trying to purchase and preserve the land but are in competition with mining companies...

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Wetlands are the world's most valuable ecosystem- more than 1 billion people rely on wetlands for income and these ecosystems provide services worth an incredible $47 trillion each year! https://t.co/MOTPCtWG6g #WorldWetlandsDay2021

#RedSquirrelAppreciationDay If you walk around Loch Leven in the quiet of the early morning at any time of year there’s a good chance you’ll see red squirrels scampering around on the ground. Look up and you’ll see their dreys in the canopy.

[iona macphie @i_mac123]

#RedSquirrelAppreciationDay Red squirrels are my favourite native mammal. Look what my daughter made for me! She’ll be making more in the summer to raise funds for their wellbeing!

In the midst of a global mass extinction, with insect populations collapsing, the Govt wants to lift ban on a deadly neonicotinoid

Pleased to have cross-party support for letter to George Eustice @Defragovuk urging him to reverse this damaging decision
