0% of rivers, lakes and streams are classed in good health in England. Yes, you read that correctly: 0%. It's time for ecological restoration at scale. We must invest in a #BlueRecovery💧

Thank you @kneppcastle for a wonderful stay at Knepp Estate this last week. Keep up the fantastic work @RewildingEurope Rewilding Britain. We came across this wonderful stag during the Castle walk.

Right now the government is reviewing where it invests over the next five years. This is their chance to build a cleaner, greener world that works for everyone. #TheTimeIsNow to make your voice heard. thetimeisnow.uk/comprehensive-…
