At a Saving Morvern’s Rainforests drop-in event at Lochaline community hub and the messages of hope from schoolkids on this cardboard rainforest tree are just wonderful 😭

There’s been huge momentum in recent months to protect & restore Britain’s lost rainforests. From David Attenborough raising the alarm, to politicians voicing support, to landowners taking action, here’s a thread summarising developments: 1/

Invasive Rhododendron ponticum is choking Britain’s temperate rainforests. But – astonishingly – there are still a handful of plant nurseries that sell it! PLEASE HELP: Call on these firms to stop selling rainforest-killing rhododendron – contact details for them all below: 1/

"Two temperate rainforests in #Wales and on the #isleofman have been named as the first to be restored by the The Wildlife Trusts, as part of a wider programme to help the rare habitat recover across the British Isles". SOoooo excited about this!!! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great to see the The Wildlife Trusts progressing their plans for temperate rainforest restoration & expansion! This must be a spur to the UK Govt to act too - moving from acknowledging the importance of Britain’s rainforests to more protections & funding: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Second round of funding applications now open for Landscape Recovery pilots - excellent to see temperate rainforest specifically mentioned as a habitat type that could be restored via this funding: gov.uk/government/new…

Useful to see this PQ response by Minister Trudy Harrison about support for temperate rainforests under ELMs. It's great that rainforest restoration is being supported in Landscape Recovery - but am speaking with landowners currently about gaps in CS. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

Invasive rhododendron is choking our temperate rainforests. But groups like the National Trust are working hard to eradicate it - such as at this site on the Exmoor coast (the purple swathes in the background). Great to visit it with local MP Selaine Saxby today! 1/

20% of the UK has optimum conditions for rainforest to thrive, yet it covers only 0.5% of land. On #WorldRainforestDay, we want to highlight the fantastic work by Lost Rainforests of Britain to change this and restore the UK's natural temperate rainforests🌳🌲 📸creds: Alice Russell
