The Government has finally confirmed that the all badger culling will end including in the last cull licence area in Cumbria. After 13 years & the slaughter of 250,000 badgers at a public cost of £100 million this tragedy is finally over. We must now ensure it never starts again under a new Government in 2029. Well done to everyone who took to the fields marched in the streets and stood outside the Courts to end this this cruel costly madness

Catastrophic decision that will see the end of thousands upon thousands of Scottish seabirds. There is just no hope

The RSPB has reported a significant increase in Western Capercaillie numbers at its Abernethy Forest reserve, providing a rare piece of positive news for a species facing extinction in the UK: https://t.co/QApOhz2QGU

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care

Berwick Bank threatens to be the deadliest windfarm for birds anywhere in the world. Please 🙏 join me and take action now - tell SSE and the First Minister to #CancelBerwickBank.

[Butterfly Conservation 🦋 @savebutterflies]

🚨 The latest European Red List assessment has revealed 65 butterflies are now classed as 'at risk', several of which are species found in the UK.

Urgent action is needed to reverse the declining population of butterflies.

The Kittiwake Hotel is fully booked!
So cool to see the new hotel being appreciated 😊✊ Built by the local fishermen in Kiberg. We designed and helped to give the project wings, with $ help from a seabird science project. Good conservation with a solid local component 👌#varanger

Petchaburi rice fields #Thailand with Germain's Swiflets in the 100,000s ... the fields are being prepared for rice planting with 1000s of egrets, storks and ibises.. Javan Pond Herons outnumber Chinese Pond Herons by 500:1 ... brilliant birding place 😀

That's 70,000 people who want to see driven grouse shooting banned.

We're nearly 3/4 of the way there to our target of 100,000 signatures.

The Monadliath….one of the most important areas for Eagles on mainland Scotland. Unbelievable new developments are even being considered wiping out key hunting grounds.

Aparecen dos nuevos lobos colgados en Ponga (Asturias). Se recoge lo que se siembra. Si el Gobierno agroganadero astur quiere matar lobos, aquí está. Barbón, no se negocia con chantajistas ni terroristas. cc @AdrianBarbon #Ponga #Asturies.
