On #WorldWetlandsDay, let's take a moment to appreciate the vital role #wetlands play in maintaining #biodiversity & protecting our planet 🌎
Safeguarding & restoring our wetlands lies at the heart of solving our multiplanetary crises

Wetlands = essential for all life on earth 🌏
Wetlands = vital habitats for 40% of species 🐸
Wetlands = disappearing 3 x faster than forests 🌲
Retweet 🔁 and like ✅ to raise awareness of these precious habitats on #WorldWetlandsDay#WWD2023#ForWetlands#WetlandsCan
and supported by so many amazing people! I also want to say thanks to my examiners @Calvia14 and @O_o_Frank for a really interesting and enjoyable discussion in my viva yesterday! I'm so grateful to all of you 😊!
I don't use social media much but I really want to say an absolutely huge thank you to all my PhD supervisors @SteveThackeray, @DrEllie_Mackay, @Daniel_Read, @SteveOrmerod, @fluitans and everyone in @CEHLakeEcoGrp for the best PhD experience 🥰! I'm so lucky to have been guided
We have an open-ended vacancy to join the Molecular Ecology group at UKCEH Wallingford https://t.co/UKjEnbSPuZ. This is an opportunity to lead our citizen science eDNA research and develop your own research interests. Please email me for more details https://t.co/8hcDTHJ3A2
An important and timely open letter from @WWF, asking that #freshwater is elevated to same #conservation priority as 'land and ocean'.

Did you know ?
Freshwater habitats cover just 1% of the earth’s surface but are home to 10% of known animals, 30% of vertebrates and over 50% of fish.
@NatureMetrics and @IUCN are striving to understand and protect this fragile environment using #eDNA technology.
#eBioAtlas
Today, in partnership with @IUCN, we are proud to launch our global eDNA programme: #eBioAtlas!
We’re rolling out our internationally validated DNA technologies globally, paired with IUCN’s expertise, to deliver multi-stakeholder #conservation programmes around the world.
The vote will take place tomorrow. For the sake of our country, our children & future generations this is your last chance to contact your MP & tell them to vote against this👇
Hey @davidmorrisml 🙋 Peaceful protest is a British right. Women at a peaceful vigil for #SarahEverard did not need heavy-handed policing.
Vote against the #PolicingBill that would criminalise peaceful protest in the UK.

Tomorrow the Executive of the National Education Union meets to decide the next steps as the government refuses to recognise the ongoing Covid crisis in our schools.
RT if you stand with the teachers and not this shambolic and irresponsible government.
Disgusting.
In Parliament, I just challenged Jacob Rees-Mogg about UNICEF having to feed working class kids in the UK.
His reply? "UNICEF should be ashamed of itself". He accused it of "playing politics".
It's shameful for kids to go hungry. It's not shameful to feed them.
