Some of you will remember my tweet in May about @SheffCouncil spraying my street with #pesticides. The campaign to stop #glyphosate poisoning our wildlife, pets and people is taking off!!

Sheffield community organises strategy to stop Glyphosate spraying https://t.co/BkYLgLduWN

@4peatssake2 You 'd think as a society we'd have all agreed by now this kind of abuse of the natural world is totally unacceptable. Sadly not. Some businesses think otherwise putting profit before compassion. Totally despicable.

"Witnessing such a young elephant lose its life to trophy hunting is a painful reminder of why we cannot allow this to continue.Together, let's demand stricter regulations and an immediate ban on trophy hunting. Our wildlife deserves better. #BanTrophyHuntingNow"

Please support this important work. Ostriches are incredible birds we share the planet with. They should not be treated like this.

Ostriches can live for decades. In the fashion industry these birds die at 12 months old. Take action now: https://t.co/ufnHd8V5qW (via @PETAAsia)

So happy to see rain finally falling in this part of South Kalimantan. I hope it helps bring the fires under control, gives the exhausted firefighters some relief and, most importantly, gives the wildlife and animals caught up in the fires a chance to survive ❤️

@GuisadoPepe Birds singing outside mating season will do this to maintain a territory. Robins for example will sing during winter and both males and females will do this. I wonder if this applies to wrens?

Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments
And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki

A dull evening for it no wind or rain tho, an increase in nos of birds from last week, despite it being reasonably still the birds came in early & went to roost really early a long time before sunset unusual perhaps they wanted to be settled before the storms that were predicted

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@janepursey Love your video Jane. Yes maybe they did roost early due to approaching storms. Birds are very tuned to changing weather patterns.

Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! 🚨

Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 m² of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result.

200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone!

Huge thanks to @LebISF 🫡 🕊️

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@AWPRCO What a bird? So beautiful. Can't believe they can still be legally shot in UK. Just outrageous!

[Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) @CABS_REPORTS]

Thousands of bird trappers are operating in #Malta from today under fake "research" permits - despite 2 EU Court rulings against it!

@CABS_REPORTS is fighting back: 8 poachers caught, illegal nets seized, and 39 trapped birds freed.

Ach, they have blocked me again. Did you know? That for you to eat a 140g portion of farmed salmon it is likely that food grade fish including mackerel, herring and sardines have been stolen from people less well of than yourself and pelletised to feed the #salmon?

Do we want Fin Whales Dead or Alive? #Iceland is harpooning one of largest intelligent animals to ever live. @KristrunFrosta PM of Iceland why do you allow this? Yet incredible footage of Fin Whale seen off Wales coast recently. Will it get harpooned? @WelshGovernment speak up!!

[Kanga @Kangarooei]

Good night @Kangarooei followers. Many followers would have heard about Kevin the Koala who lives here with his partner Audrey. Here is their son who is climbing a Manor Gum I planted 40 years ago for the Koalas, one of their favourites to eat. Happy for the night. Sleep well. 🦘

@AidaGreenbury How much of burnt area was primary forest? Were any National Parks burnt significantly ?

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@Lleyn_Birding @SheffCouncil @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield Thanks Andrew. This campaign is gathering momentum. Lots of streets in Sheffield now wanting pesticide spraying stopped.

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

The No #Glyphosate Campaign in #Sheffield is gathering momentum. Its toxic to our wildlife and also a risk to dogs and cats on our streets. @SheffCouncil you need to listen to the people of Sheffield and STOP spraying #pesticides on our streets. @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield

[Ali Van Zee @alikat747]

@TimBirchWild @SheffCouncil @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield Please do! We need ALL cities across the Globe to #BanGlyphosate

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@MrsPoges @SheffCouncil @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield You need to get a similar campaign going with friends and neighbours. Let me know if I can help👍
