The price of peace is being paid by #Ukraine’s defenders, every day. Don’t just remember them. Honor them with action: Donate. Protest. Call your govt reps. Mobilize friends+family to do the same. Not all of us carry a gun but we all can fight for freedom.
A fantastic day in #Carlow, seeing the fruits of our increased Local Biodiversity Action Fund brought to life by such a dedicated, innovative team on @Carlow_Co_Co. Today we visited four of the 13 projects they received funding for in 2023, each more impressive than the last! 👇

The latest #StateOfNature Report marks a decade of missed opportunities to halt the spiraling decline of UK wildlife.
With less than half of UK biodiversity remaining the science has never been clearer...
