Here's a quick 🧵 on how they did it, and the incredible #rewilding results. #WorldRiversDay (1/5)
Please screen-grab this tweet and keep it handy when food prices soar , water-wars break out , your house burns down , your business is washed away , polar bears are extinct or in a few years time when a desperate and angry young person asks you who was responsible for killing their world . . .

So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull & cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to & detrimental to genuine bee saving.
Please #retweet to help the bees that need it!

This is absolutely AMAZING! 😍 Only in slow motion can you appreciate this female Hairy-footed flower bee collecting pollen from these Cowslips on her proboscis. She then wipes it off with her front legs and attaches it to her hind legs, before storing it in her nest cell! ❤️🐝
The UK is ranked as 12th lowest of 240 countries for biodiversity. Yes, you read that right! Therefore #nature needs all the help it can get & it starts in our own #gardens. So, dig that #pond, put up that bird box, plant those native wildflowers & let’s help #wildlife in 2023👍
Shocked to know that Natural England issue falconry licences allowing Skylarks - a red listed species - to be killed for sport. Also Fieldfare, Redwing, Meadow Pipit, Mistle Thrush...

Groundhog Day for pollinators! 🐝 ❌
UK Government has once again, approved the use of a lethal, bee-killing pesticide. The Wildlife Trusts' Policy and Information Officer, Joe Llanos, explains why this is such a disastrous decision. https://t.co/sStclMgwWw
Hugely toxic neonicotinoid pesticides to be sprayed again in the UK. @DaveGoulson excellent on this on @BBCr4today, while @NFUSugar declined to engage. I wonder if DDT would have been banned in 80s were @NFUtweets as powerful a lobbyist as it is nowadays.
