We are deeply concerned by reported cuts to the Nature Restoration Fund, a vital source of funding for nature conservation right across Scotland, which was just beginning to make real positive impacts for nature in local communities.

We know that Scotland’s nature is in trouble, with 1 in 9 species at risk of extinction. Pulling funding now in the face of extreme climate events here in Scotland and of noticeable declines in biodiversity, is making the job of adapting to ongoing environmental change even more challenging. Recent polling shows that 8 out of 10 people in Scotland have noticed harm to the environment in their local area and we know that a healthy natural environment is vital to our wellbeing as individuals and communities, as well as absolutely critical in the fight against climate change.

Our #ScotlandLovesNature campaign is calling on @scotgov to set legally binding targets for nature recovery in the upcoming Programme for Government through a Natural Environment Bill, put funding in place to restore nature and help communities protect and restore their local environment. The proposed cuts to the Nature Restoration Fund makes nature recovery, which is fundamental for our immediate and long term future, even more difficult. We urgently encourage ministers to rethink these counter-productive proposals.

Earlier this month, MSP Nature Champions @ArianeBurgessHI, @EmmaRoddickSNP and @Audrey4ASNK joined staff from @Buzz_dont_tweet + @ScotWildPolicy alongside @cairngormsnews + @SpeyCatchment for a river restoration visit to Allt Lorgy, Aviemore! 🌊

Three quarters of Scots support legal targets for nature recovery – but 3 years after promising them, the Scottish government is yet to act.

Help give nature a voice by emailing your MSPs asking them to introduce targets in a Natural Environment Bill:

Today 1 in 9 species are at risk of extinction in Scotland.

Three quarters of Scots support legal targets to restore nature - we're calling on @scotgov to bring forward a Natural Environment Bill and get nature back on track:

European #GlowWorm & #Firefly Species are in decline. Of the 10 #European species assessed, half are now threatened with #extinction.

💡#LightPollution, #ClimateChange & habitat degradation, are the main threats leading to their declines

Buglife is pleased to see this landmark law setting Europe-wide targets to #RestoreNature, including a crucial goal to stop #pollinator declines by 2030!

It’s also great to see Buglife’s advocacy recognised in the #NatureRestorationLaw.

Looks like newspapers too were bottled up - this looks more like a cathartic release than just morning headlines :)

The #Aurora got everyone talking earlier in May.

Missed it? Fear not, nature’s nocturnal light shows are just warming up!

Today, on International Day for Biological Diversity, help us reduce light pollution by supporting our campaign’Curtains for Light Pollution’ https://t.co/dcj2xILA9f

[Shreoshi Das @Shreoshii]

Light pollution impacts not just birds but every organism living on this planet, from the tiniest plankton to us, humans.
Dimming lights isn’t very helpful for our nocturnal wildlife. SWITCH OFF the unnecessary lights👏🏼

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Dim the lights to help protect nocturnal wildlife 🦉, reduce light pollution 🌆, and save energy 🌿. Small actions make a big impact!

@deepsang27 @GSofA Looks great! Congratulations 🤩

@dhumketu101 I was asleep when it happened. And my phone was on DND mode so I missed my friends’ calls and messages🥲

[Shreoshi Das @Shreoshii]

As much as I was gutted to have missed the Aurora last night, I guess I managed to compensate for it (or maybe not) by bagging three Munros in Glenshee today ⛰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️

✅⛰️Carn a’ Gheoidh
✅⛰️Carn Nah Sac (not a munro anymore)

@Marrvvine Ah same!! Keeping my eyes peeled tonight 👀🤞����

[Shreoshi Das @Shreoshii]

Great fun day out in the farm saving some Caulis from going to waste with @TransitionDund
We managed to glean a whopping 992.9 kgs of Cauliflowers today!! 🥦🥁 These will now be distributed to all the food banks and community kitchens in Dundee! ☺️

This #EarthDay, we wanted to celebrate the #NatureRestorationLaw but 🇪🇺 governments failed to adopt it 🤔

https://t.co/vzKg1qtwtU

There was a deal. There are citizens, businesses, scientists & many more calling for the #RestoreNature law.

🤷‍♀️@EUCouncil what happened?

[Shreoshi Das @Shreoshii]

@dhumketu101 This was probably one of the first things I packed when I moved to Scotland 😂
