As we near the end of day 1 of @RamsarConv COP14 here's a thread for those in the negotiations thinking of the footprint they want to leave... 👣

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

👏 Huge thanks to @NFFNUK, @NationalTrust, @TheCCoalition, @WWTworldwide, @CPRE, @WildlifeTrusts, @Friends_Earth, @WCL_news, @WomensInstitute for today’s #CANBill meeting—chaired by our champion—@DrRozSavageMP.

🐝 Exciting times ahead as we approach the CAN Bill’s pivotal Second Reading vote on 24/01/25!

📣 We missed our colleagues at @GreenpeaceUK, @SAScampaigns and @FFTCnetwork, but we’re proud to count on their support, and that of 1,000+ other brilliant organisations.

Did you know that we created the world’s first conservation breeding population of black-tailed godwits at WWT Slimbridge?

Since 2017, we’ve rescued and incubated 304 eggs and released 235 birds into the wild.

But this work must continue...

@BenGoldsmith @nytimes @WWTSteart Thanks @BenGoldsmith

Somerset’s amazing and vast Steart Marshes wetland restoration project draws continual international attention.

Go visit!

Love this: WWT’s Wetland Potential Maps.
Wetland restoration, esp Saltmarshes, is something I get really excited about! Potential to restore & create 100,00 hectares by 2050!

Madagascar visit day 1. View over the capital, packing the vehicle for the trip to our community work, @WWTworldwide office, view over Parc de Tsarasaotra (a Ramsar wetland and place of tranquility and cool in the heart of the capital).

[Natural England @NaturalEngland]

Good news for godwits. 😍

A new generation of black-tailed godwits has been hatched by experts at @WWTworldwide, supported by funding from Natural England’s Species Recovery Programme.

@NaturalistDara @WWTworldwide So pleased to have you with us @NaturalistDara, a warm @WWTworldwide welcome.

Delighted and honoured to become a champion for wetlands and @WWTworldwide !

[Sarah Fowler @SarahFowlerWWT]

Absolutely this 👇🏽. Thanks for your support @TonyJuniper 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Tony Juniper @TonyJuniper]

Having spent centuries seeking to get water off the land as quickly as possible, we now need to look at ways to keep more of it for longer, for wildlife, farming & public supply. Wetlands are part of the solution, bringing multiple benefits alongside resilience to climate change.

Absolute joy watching the families of common cranes on the Lady Fen complex @WWTWelney Once an arable field now a restored wetland.

[Sarah Fowler @SarahFowlerWWT]

What I love about this story is

1. It’s about hope, we can find solutions
2. It’s about collaboration
3. It’s about giving space to partners voices.

They all matter. No 3. matters especially. Organisations shouting up for each other’s hard work really does matter.

[WWT @WWTworldwide]

A good news story for your weekend - corncrake numbers are rising at @WWTWelney thanks to chicks raised by @Pensthorpe and our careful management of the wet grassland habitat they rely on.

Crex crex!👇 https://t.co/nmkOa6nDlX

[Sarah Fowler @SarahFowlerWWT]

Yes we can! @SteveReedMP @DefraGovUK

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

Thank you to the 200 representatives from the environment, animal welfare, water, food and rural sectors who joined us yesterday as @SteveReedMP set out our plans.

Together we can nurture our countryside, restore nature, and build our rural economies.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Really good meeting today with leading nature charities to discuss the action needed in this Parliament to protect & restore the natural world.

Green MPs & peers will work closely with conservation groups on key issues such as sewage, nature-friendly farming & flood management.

Wetland Word of the Week 🌧️

Dreich is a Scottish word meaning dreary and bleak, often in regard to weather, which we get a lot of at Caerlaverock!

Show us your pictures of a dreich day at Caerlaverock!
