What an incredible photo of a tuna off Watergate Bay, Cornwall this weekend. Let’s hope we see more of these & other apex predators return in numbers as we create highly protected marine areas. #oceanrecovery Surfers Against Sewage 💙🌊🌍🌱 📸: Megan Hemsworth:Surf Sistas

Right now, those affected by mental health problems are at risk of struggling to access vital services, food and benefits to help keep well. Sign Mind petition asking the UK Government to provide a Winter Mental Health Support Package. bit.ly/3l0gMxq?utm_so…

And the Government thinks this is a good moment to lift the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides ... We have to help insects flourish, not reintroduce ways of killing them theguardian.com/environment/20…

Bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects are in trouble. A lack of connected wildflower areas in our towns and countryside make it difficult for pollinators and other wildlife to live and move around. But, we have a solution - B-Lines:

An example of the damage caused by #lightpollution. Mayflies attracted away from the river, impacting their chances of reproducing and ultimately their vital role in the ecosystem. We must treat light with the same concern we give any other form of pollution.

It would be crazy to ignore a form of pollution that impacts every living thing, reduces biodiversity, costs money, contributes to greenhouse emissions and could be readily solved... theoretically, overnight. #LightPollution #EnvironmentBill

The House of Lords will hear the #Lightpollution amendment as part of the #EnvironmentBill debate today. Artificial light is damaging for bats, other wildlife, people and planet. Great thread from Buglife Read more about bats and lighting here: bats.org.uk/about-bats/thr…

#EnvironmnetBill update. Thanks to the work of Greener UK Wildlife and Countryside Link there have already been key improvements to the #EnvironmentBill on soils, enforcing green laws, and halting species decline. With two days of debate left, there is time to strengthen the Bill further 1/3

Did you know that medicines are found in our freshwaters? A new Buglife report launched yesterday finds common pharmaceuticals are widespread in British rivers. buglife.org.uk/news/medical-d… 1/4

JUST NOW - MPs vote NOT to save bees from pesticides. Despite passionate MP speeches - vote 297 to 182 to reject House Of Lords clause. Closest Env Bill vote yet. Thanks to the supporting MPs and 65,000 members of the public who wanted them to save pollinators. #FixThisLords
