@AbdiDuale_ What a ridiculous comment. There is no 'bats and newts' brigade. Rather, you were elected pledging to protect the environment (as part of your manifesto). What a shocking and embarrassing comment.

To all my lovely followers - I've not posted on here for a while as this platform is now so awful. I'll not close the account (X might change) but I'm off to Bluesky. See you there: @robstoneman.bsky.social

Thanks to @RobStoneman and @CraigBennett3 for having us on their daily live update on #COP16 Women's day to share our experience of being young women in conservation and the work @GYBN_CBD does at @UNBiodiversity to ensure the convention text is inclusive.

[Jo Smith @JoSmithDWT]

It’s time for change; we need the grouse shooting industry to be licensed & a complete ban on peatland burning.

Shoots that are not engaging in illegal activity have nothing to fear & lots to gain from this.

🎊Exciting news! 🎊

2 new bison calves have been born in just four days apart. 🦬

The calves bring the total number of the Wilder Blean bison herd to 8 and they are now part of the UK's only wild bison rewilding project thanks @KentWildlife & @WildwoodTrust 💚

"Reaching net zero is impossible without nature" yet the UK Government allocates £22bn to carbon capture and storage despite that it is unproven technology at scale and is considering cutting nature investment! @MaryCreagh_ @Ed_Miliband https://t.co/dZyhFzhrVG

@MartinHGames Oxfam has 10,000 staff and 50,000 volunteers & interns. Imagine what salary a commercial CEO would get if they managed an organisation of that size. C'mon Martin - behave.

The @WildlifeTrusts has acquired Skiddaw!

This landscape, which is treasured by so many, will see restoration of peatlands, woodlands and more.

Let there be no doubt, this is a milestone moment for nature restoration in @LakeDistrictNPA and beyond.

[David Oakes @David_Oakes]

It is such an exciting prospect for Cumbria and the UK. We obviously couldn’t cover it “on mic” at the time, but to get an inkling of what could happen on Skiddaw, listen to @RobStoneman here for some “ballpark landscape recovery banter”: https://t.co/mPUZnKjgOi

I've been waiting months to say this, but:

THE WILDLIFE TRUSTS ARE BUYING SKIDDAW!

Beavers are recognised as native species in England, but are still not allowed in the wild even though they bring so many benefits to our natural world. That’s why we’re asking the UK Government to publish an ambitious reintroduction strategy! Read more 👉 https://t.co/YaEWikEfEM

[Rob Stoneman @RobStoneman]

That this can happen on our watch is utterly disgraceful. Let asylum seekers onto the channel ferries and provide legal routes to the UK. Then process applications quickly sending those back who don't qualify. End the slaughter @YvetteCooperMP https://t.co/TS1Tc57ExF

[Rob Stoneman @RobStoneman]

Oh wow - another Brexit shambles - this time over-fishing by the big trawlers smashing our seabird populations. The decline of Britain's wildlife is catastrophic - c'mon @UKLabour @MaryCreagh_ time for a massive reset to bring back our wildlife. https://t.co/SStinPlzpH

[Rob Stoneman @RobStoneman]

The @WildlifeTrusts launched their vision to bring back beavers today. @BBCr4today interviewed me earlier on this morning. Listen at 53.38: https://t.co/SwVuzyg68k

Gorgeous video from the @WoodlandTrust on temperate rainforests. Enjoy: https://t.co/NNFYDf3pRO

@CrossCountryUK Which of course won’t make the slightest difference as these problems have been in place for years. The problem is 4 carriages and a late workforce: profit before service. Diabolical . @LouHaigh

[Rob Stoneman @RobStoneman]

@CrossCountryUK Yet again - late and ridiculously overcrowded. Too often. Such a terrible service.
