The largest remaining greenspace in Colchester is under threat of development, we need to protect it before it's too late.

the out going head of @NaturalEngland is promoting Sssi's. knowing full well they have stoped the designation pipeline for new sites, and saying what a good job they are doing in the process https://t.co/qO9povx1ny

Forest City schemes and scams. They are advertising on FB/Instagram to people across the E of England that they can stop housing targets elsewhere if people sign their petition!

@NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper Better management of Middlewick would help. the last 2 years we have been saying the gorse needs cutting and the grass needed be cut at the right time in the right place and collected instead of it thatching over

The Government's own National Security Assessment identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as imminent risks to our security, resilience and prosperity.

Nature is not a luxury. Healthy ecosystems are the foundation of our food security, public health, economic resilience and national wellbeing. As climate and ecological crises deepen, protecting and restoring nature is essential to our collective future.

That's why I have sponsored @AdrianRamsay's parliamentary motion, which calls on the Government to recognise Nature as a rights-bearing entity, establish a duty of care towards Nature, and ensure that public policy supports the protection, restoration and regeneration of the living systems on which we all depend.

Suffolk WT: "Heatwaves & droughts are becoming more extreme & more frequent because of changes to the planet’s climate. In the UK, these longer periods of hotter, drier weather are increasing both the likelihood of wildfires starting & their severity."
