We wanted to thank the MPs who support the Climate & Nature Bill, the legislation needed to tackle the climate & nature crisis.
Time to turn words into action by voting for the #CANBill at its Second Reading on 24 Jan.
Play your part, ask your MP to back the bill 👊

#AccidentalArt : This evening, a dirty smudge on a wooden floor?

Or a swan in flight?

[Nigel Doar @NigeDoar]

#AccidentalArt: A lovely crisp morning here in Sheffield today. Look carefully at the curtain-smudge in the bedroom window condensation. What do you see? A lapwing, perhaps?

📢We did it - Strawberry Hill is saved!📢
👏 We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to help us buy this special site and save it for nature and for people forever.

Manx Wildlife Trust @manxnature to create 100-acre wildwood on the Isle of Man 👏

(But why do we leave this vital work to a handful of dedicated but underfunded environment charities? Why is restoring our nature not a whole-of-society effort?)

Nature's recovery benefits wildlife, the natural world, society & the economy, making them more #resilient to #ClimateChange. It can help stabilise the climate, too.

Understanding how wildlife and climate interact is critically important. Thanks, @MetOffice_Sci

As a volunteer, more than 35 years ago, I helped out at Lemsford Springs. It was a special gem back then... and no doubt is more-so now. It, and many places like it need safeguarding from the impacts of #ClimateChange.

[Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust @HMWTBadger]

@WildlifeTrusts At our Lemsford Springs Nature Reserve, we’re working to shield wildlife-rich chalk stream habitat from the impacts of #ClimateChange and extreme weather.

With a General Election now confirmed for 4th July, it’s crucial that nature’s voice is heard 📢 (1/3)

[Nigel Doar @NigeDoar]

The #GeneralElectionUK's coming. Migration, health, the cost of living and international peace and security are all being made far worse because of climate change and damage to the natural world. We need nature to recover now... So who should I #vote for? #WilderFuture.

[Nigel Doar @NigeDoar]

Are you interested in helping The Wildlife Trusts to understand the impact of our efforts to create new rainforest across the western parts of the UK? If you are (or you know someone else who is), then let us know! It would be great to hear from you. https://t.co/ooIvpYmY8s

Perspective is a fine thing, isn't it? It's a pity more people don't have it.

[Professor Mark Maslin 👋 𝕏 @ProfMarkMaslin]

Cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 kill 1.85 billion birds 🦜🕊🪶 every year in the #US

But no calls for cats to be banned

Buildings 🏢 kill 675 million birds

Vehicles 🚛🚙 214 million birds

We poison ☠️ 72 million birds

Wind turbines kill just 328,000 and #climatechange deniers want to ban them!

After a decade of ideologically driven wrong-headed nonsense from the government in England, it would be lovely to adopt an evidence-based approach that works for both #badgers and #farmers, wouldn't it? https://t.co/zJ3YsfFl3Z

Organisations, including @HerefordshireWT to receive over £400k to help farmers & communities near River Wye adapt to climate change.
