This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

“Dying in Silence:” The Glass Eel Crisis in the River Severn
A critical wildlife crisis is unfolding along the River Severn, where endangered glass eels are becoming stranded and dying in large numbers—threatening an already vulnerable species.
Human inactivity and lack of intervention are allowing this to continue. Active removal and relocation of stranded eels can help support their recovery.
Like and repost to raise awareness. These creatures don’t have a voice—so we must use ours.

@networkrail have the chance to do something lovely here. Something kind to little scraps of life heading to what their instinct tells them will be their safe, traditional nesting places. Something to defend our diminishing wildlife and set an example to admire. Please act.
Some swifts returning to Britain to breed will be unable to access their ancestral nesting holes after they were blocked in a £7.5m refurbishment of a Derbyshire railway viaduct, campaigners say.
Nature lovers had appealed to Network Rail to unblock three holes which were among at least nine swift nesting sites on the twin viaducts at Chapel Milton, on the edge of the Peak District
#NetworkRail are getting bogged down in their own justifications but the point is that the swift nesting sites are blocked and they can unblock them. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected]#SaveOurSwifts#UnblockTheNests
Please help get this message to CEO of @networkrail Jeremy Westlake. Email him asking him to unblock the swift nesting sites in the chapel Milton viaduct, Derbyshire. His email is [email protected]@deborahpitman has been asking for ages but she’s been ignored
Have your say on the future of trail hunting in England and Wales✍️
Years of evidence indicate that trail hunting is being used as a cover for illegal fox hunting.
Between August 2024 and March 2025, the League Against Cruel Sports received 474 reports of suspected illegal hunting across England and Wales but the true figure is likely much higher.
We’re calling not only for a ban on trail hunting, but for stronger protections for wildlife:
🦊 Strengthen the Hunting Act 2004
🦊 Close loopholes that allow illegal hunting to continue
🦊 Introduce tougher penalties for those who break the law

Poor little soul! 😱This is one of the worst cases of mange I have seen in a while! This little #vixen has been suffering from #mange for months. Many people must have looked the other way, instead of feeding her and getting her help. But now she has come to the right place. Tonight I shall wait for her with medicated food. You can enable me to save more precious fox lives by donating: https://t.co/pCYbq9CuV3 Thank you for caring! 🙏🐾 Do you have any name suggestions for this little warrior? I will keep you posted on her progress. 🧡 Please RT. X
New footage exposes conditions on livestock ship stuck for weeks
Utterly #appalling and #horrific conditions seen in new footage from livestock carrier Spiridon II
Totally #unacceptable cruel conditions onboard after the vessel spent weeks stranded off Turkey with thousands of cattle
We MUST end this totally inhumane practice of live transport

This is how @networkrail respond to knowing a pair of PROTECTED buzzards are nesting 50m away they sent in the chain again making a hell of a racket- They have full knowledge yet ignore these birds and carry on regardless -absolutely disgusting @ChrisGPackham@NaturalEngland 😡
These are the nesting buzzards threatened by @networkrail on the embankment near my home in WF8 They plan more destruction on March 28th despite it being illegal to disturb nesting birds like these @Natures_Voice@BTP@ChrisGPackham
BREAKING!: Huge news: The Government has quietly published [link below] on its website, without any fanfare, the Joint Intelligence Committee / Defra report on
'GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY LOSS, ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY'
that it suppressed last October. It has presumably done this at this point (in the middle of an international crisis) to try to bury the story. <DON'T LET IT BE BURIED> ...this is a huge story. Just consider the report's title, for starters... the report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that require serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration-pressure: "as development gains begin to reverse", a phrase that should make any human shudder in anguish. There is much more... But it doesn't end there: what they have published very much appears to be >only part of a larger piece of work<: there is no detail at all in what they have published on the geo-regional analyses; the connections from those regional analyses to the national security threats consequently facing Britain are not detailed; the "Key Judgements" of the report are not properly explained. It is fairly obvious what has happened here: in response to FOIs, they are trying to slip this report out, presumably because they feared it would otherwise get out anyway; but they have done so in a form that holds back much of the most disturbing content - the content that WE as citizens need to know if we are to know how to protect ourselves, what we are potentially going to have to adapt TO.
We must continue to press for the full report to be released...
But in the meantime there is much here to digest and reflect on, to put it mildly. Kudos to those who commissioned the report; do READ this version of it (it's only short!), and let's take it from there... Kudos too to those who pursued an (at least partly) successful battle to get the report released, via Freedom of Information requests...
>>Please share widely!
