Hello All, after 20 years with IUCN leading our FW species work I am now moving on to manage a new project closer to home in Cornwall: https://t.co/bShrsIpCdi

Keep flying the FW flag - it's been 20 great years working with you all! Come a visit me in Cornwall - great surf!

"Environmental group WWF Japan believes the true scale of the problem is even larger, estimating between 40 to 60 percent of eels raised in Japan come from illegal sources.""

@AndyRainforest @JChVie Amazing - wonderful to see!

At least they had an asteroid, what’s our excuse? 🦖💥 #TheTimeIsNow #ClimateAction

@Quiksilver Hello, need to return a faulty watch recently purchased (minute hand fell off). No response from your online customer services or through direct email - for 2-3 weeks now. No return address or label included in the original packaging. Please advise for UK returns☹️☹️

Environmental campaigners taking direct action are dismissed as mad and bad by people who have not seen what they have seen: the gathering collapse of our life support systems.
Once you understand the enormity of what we face, you'll see them as the heroes they are.

Urgent: Up to a million species are facing extinction -- but governments are voting on a bold new plan to save nature this week! Let's make sure it passes, join the urgent call now! https://t.co/oJfAUlg6Pk

Water crowfoot is like the mangroves fringing tropical seas: it's the crucial habitat in which fish and other creatures shelter and breed. Lose the crowfoot, and you lose much of the ecosystem.
The rate of loss is breathtaking, terrifying, heartbreaking.

@NatureMetrics and @IUCN raising funds to map the world’s freshwater biodiversity using #eDNA - we need data to:
🐟 set global goals for nature
🐞stimulate investment
🦋 manage business risks and impacts

[💧🐟 Stuart Orr 🐟💧 @Stuart_Orr]

With Rivers and FW biodiversity so overlooked by global pledges, campaigns and messaging - so great to see this ‘Gamechanging’ £10m environmental DNA project to map life in world’s rivers https://t.co/gkAjKuGeR2 @WWFLeadWater @kathyahughes @Shoal_Org @AFL_org @IUCN_Water @IPBES

[William Darwall @FBU2010]

This could be a gamechanger: finally a way to rapidly get information on where FW species occur across the globe using eDNA which works amazingly well for FW fish in particular https://t.co/xvYz0oKvDt

What have the Duckbilled buntingi, Syr Darya shovelnose sturgeon & Spinach pipefish in common?
They're all #LostFishes & among the Top10 most wanted fishes in @Shoal_Org's Search for the Lost Fishes. Find out how you can help to find them:

@JChVie @GeorgeMonbiot The message here applies to our highly threatened FW fish which also need to be treated as wildlife rather than as "replacable" agricultural products.

[Leonardo DiCaprio @LeoDiCaprio]

Diverse, freshwater fish are critical for societies, economies and ecosystems - but they are undervalued and under threat. This report from organizations including @WWF and @Global_Wildlife explains why we must act now to save them:

[William Darwall @FBU2010]

See this report out today highlighting the terrible state of the worlds 18,000+ freshwater fish, one third of which are now threatened with many more in decline. Let's use this to generate some action now - before it's too late. We know what to do...but need support to do it.

[WWF Water 💧🐟 @WWFLeadWater]

They're the world's #ForgottenFishes - we need to remember how important they are to people & nature before it's too late.

New report out now from 16 global conservation groups
