The biggest, most existential issue facing our species is being totally ignored in the election debate. Today’s march to #RestoreNatureNow will be a celebration of nature but also an expression of our grief & anger - the lack of leadership is unforgivable https://t.co/56CEQuQebk

It definitely felt like spring today - and the lizards agreed! @TropicalDorset @ARGroupsUK

My first butterfly of the year - a gorgeous red admiral! @savebutterflies

[Buglife @Buzz_dont_tweet]

🐝We're disappointed that yet again bees & mayflies risk being exposed to harmful levels of #neonicotinoid #insecticides as a result of the UK Government ignoring concerns of scientists & their own expert committee.

It's time that banned meant banned!

There’s something magical about the joy gifted by winter trees 🤌✨ I found all these at the weekend, in one little square of woodland. January is a month of amazing botanical colours and shapes if you take the time to stop and notice 😌

The saddest compilation video I have ever made. But perhaps also the most positive if it causes a reduction in plastic pollution in 2024. In once pristine seas, every nearshore plankton sample I now collect contains plastic microfibers. (Sound On) @zeiss_micro

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Farmers deserve to be supported by @DefraGovUK and nature-friendly farming needs to be properly funded. But pressure remains to allow the use of banned chemicals that harm wildlife. Tell the Farming Minister why these pesticides should stay banned. 👉 https://t.co/7RmG0HTFyY

Campaigners, climate experts, politicians react with disbelief and anger as UK minister in charge of #Cop28 talks goes home - presumably to vote on Rwanda bill. With ⁦@pgreenfielduk⁩ and ⁦@horton_official⁩ https://t.co/gqUPloHN8J

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

For the 4th year in a row, @DefraGovUK has been asked to allow use of a banned pesticide.

1 tsp of this poison is enough to kill 1.25m bees. 🐝

Banned chemicals have no place in a #WilderFuture. ☠

Ask the Farming Minister to say #NoToNeonics 👉 https://t.co/7RmG0HTFyY

[Farhana Yamin (she/her) @farhanaclimate]

Denying the need to phase out fossil fuels at #COP28 is utterly unacceptable. The continued climate denialism and ‘fake solution’ propositioning is exhausting.

Enough is enough. We need an equitable phase out of fossil fuels in order to survive.
