Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please, this year, when the wildflowers return to the verges and our public spaces, don't poison them or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for insects like bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝

Choose your path… Very soon, many people will start mowing their lawns. NOW is the time to plan your mown paths so that our precious insects stand a chance. Don’t put the mower away for one month, instead adopt a #NoMowSummer and help our flora & fauna all summer long 🔈⬆️ 🌾

Extraordinary work by the @GFI_green today shows that damage to nature is slowing the UK economy and could lead to a 12% reduction in GDP - that's £150-£300bn - as early as the 2030s. All political parties serious about the economy must invest and regulate to #RestoreNatureNow.
