2/3) We stand with @wwf_uk, @Natures_Voice, @WildlifeTrusts and @theriverstrust during this monumental tipping point for our environment and food security.

Quite simply, a healthy future does not exist without nature or a safe climate⚠️

[Norfolk Rivers Trust @N_Rivers_Trust]

2/3)

2. Potentially scrap the Environmental Land Management Scheme that will undermine farmers and landowners in their efforts to improve nature, soil and water🚜

[Norfolk Rivers Trust @N_Rivers_Trust]

1/3) We're shocked and deeply concerned by the Governments plans to:

1. Slash vital laws that protect our rivers and catchments from harmful development and deregulated “investment zones” ☠️

[ChalkStreamInvestigations @ChalkStreamMon]

@AlexJackBrown Reminds me of #Ghostbusters when the containment got switched off… and then Elizabeth Truss appeared…

[ChalkStreamInvestigations @ChalkStreamMon]

@RachSalv I hope @theriverstrust @WildlifeTrusts will be responding to this brilliant news…😖😖😖

[Norfolk Rivers Trust @N_Rivers_Trust]

More rivers are drying up by the day.

👂Tune into @itvanglia @ 6pm to hear our @ursula_juta talking about the impact on our wildlife #water #drought #ClimateCrisis

[ChalkStreamInvestigations @ChalkStreamMon]

@ursula_juta What is this place Ursula??

[ChalkStreamInvestigations @ChalkStreamMon]

@ursula_juta Jonathan? We lost our nest of swallows due to predation…😥😥

[ChalkStreamInvestigations @ChalkStreamMon]

@ursula_juta Beavers 🦫 can do so much with the water above ground. We must also protect our groundwater from over abstraction !
