Hey! I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Companies like Shell make billions turning oil and gas into plastic - so they’re trying to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action. Let’s stop them!

Look who I met this morning at a newly created urban pond near me. This pond brings wildlife to a new urban development and has colonisedcreally quickly from what was a building site 3 years ago.

Have you watched this yet? Brutal in places yet also full of hope. Save the oceans, save our planet. Can we achieve the 30% protected no take zones by 2030? This film shows what can happen if we do. A win for both nature and fishing. youtu.be/cIZAdCtKT_g

This is a serious oversight when you consider small waterbodies make up 70% of freshwater landscapes. We will need to keep pushing this important agenda.
📣 The Independent Water Commission are currently examining the regulatory framework for the water sector.
Today, they have published their interim report, which disappointingly overlooks the importance of small waterbodies.

The UN agreed a Global Ocean Treaty which is key to protecting 30% of our oceans by 2030, currently less than 3% is properly protected. To make this happen, we need at least 60 countries to sign it into law. The UK should show leadership & implement it & support a ban on deep sea mining immediately.

🪲 The Freshwater Network is a solution to the freshwater biodiversity crisis, and is based on four principles.
1️⃣ Principle one is to protect the best first, then repair, so we can preserve high-quality habitats for broader ecological recovery.
