Happy #worldbeeday everyone!! 🐝🐝

[Charlie Trotman @TrotmanCharlie]

As a life sciences student here this is so heartbreaking to see! @SussexUni its no mow may! Why are the orchids being mown when they could be flowering and supporting biodiversity? Something you're aiming to improve!

Been a wonderful week in #portugal with @iz_milligan and @Lu45Unwin. Surveying #invasivespecies, #plants, #pollinators and more. Would love to come back soon!!

BREAKING: UN Secretary-General says the world's biggest carbon emitters must start drastically cutting emissions within the next 8 months to avert climate catastrophe 🧵

A climate activist self immolated in front of the Supreme Court on Earth Day to protest inaction on climate. And surprisingly, very few people know about it. https://t.co/8n99FseYyI

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

we don’t have seven years left before dangerous climate breakdown. we already have dangerous climate breakdown, especially for the most affected people and areas. every day of inaction by governments makes it worse.

[Alexandria Villaseñor @AlexandriaV2005]

Hot take: We shouldn't have to "win elections" to save the climate. Protecting ecosystems and the planet we actually live on should be the responsibility of all governance.

Given the terrible #weather yesterday it might not have been the best time to set up my #study sites. But our first site is ready to go and my #Dissertation is officially underway.

Imagine walking into Tesco for your weekly shop and finding row after row of nice, tidy, low maintenance shelves but without the food. You and your kids would starve. That's how Bees, Birds, Hedgehogs etc feel when they visit your plastic garden #TimeForTurf #DontBeAnEmptyTescos

[Isabel Milligan @iz_milligan]

🌴🛢 Great article from @GeorgeMonbiot explaining #NatureBasedSolutions and the dangers of #CarbonOffsetting. If we continue to extract #FossilFuels, we could be blindly walking into a new era of #colonialism - #CarbonColonialism

I know this is the majority of new build housing estates around the country, but seeing this stark landscape whilst visiting a new client recently, it’s awful that I couldn’t see a single tree or bird over the fences. Things need to change. #wildlifegarden #wildyourgarden

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

The Government have gone against their own advisors and approved the use of bee-killing pesticides in England. This decision is catastrophic for our pollinators and will ultimately lead to the harm of wildlife ❌ 🐝 🚩 https://t.co/eGrHgBG4DR
