On #WorldWetlandsDay I thought I would share some pictures of wetland creation my group has done in South Staffordshire I’m very proud of the collaboration between local land owners, EA, Wildlife Trust and other CICs to create this little oasis. More work planned next month.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.

Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.

Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc
90% of Britons support government proposals to require drivers over the age of 70 to have their vision checked every three years - including 89% of the over-65s

Millions of tiny particles of plastics have been spread on these fields, right next to a National Nature Reserve in Staffordshire.This grass is for pasture so cows no doubt will be ingesting the plastic. If that’s not bad enough these microplastics will end up in the food chain for humans to consume

BREAKING: we are taking legal action against France for failing to protect seabirds from bycatch. 🎣🐦

With Sea Shepherd FR & Défense des Milieux Aquatiques, we want to ensure that they:

a) Adequately collect data on bycatch.
b) Implement required mitigation measures to reduce this hidden tragedy.

Always good to see when removing obsolete barriers from rivers enables #swimways for migratory fish to be restored.

Always astonishing to see how quickly fish respond to these changes too!

Where next for dam & weir removal after this project in Cumbria, UK?

It’s a sad indictment of Britain’s ignorance of nature that Sycamore Gap petitions - for a tree that mattered to humans but not nature - received tens of thousands of signatures but a petition to protect entire peatland habitats is stuck at 1,500 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
Sign the petition to end peat sales!
No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
