The lords have caved already and the planning bill will now go back to the commons with no amendments. There’s now nothing stopping it going through unless Labour MPs magically gain a backbone which we know won’t happen. Goodbye nature. Goodbye endangered species 💔

I got some incredibly unprofessional and undeserved comments from Helena for simply asking if she could investigate both sides of this issue. 😬 and I’m not the only one…

I’m trying to educate the ecologically illiterate users on this app with this ‘nature facts for nature haters’ series. This episode tackles those that think they can live without nature and fly off to a new planet after this one dies. Hopefully this will save you time responding

I’m really proud that my article is the most read today on BS/247. I was so worried no one would read it. This just proves that people care about nature and want to protect it.
Apologies to ‘Work to install bike paths starting soon’ you had a good run 😂

It’s hard to enjoy life when there is so much at stake for our wildlife 😫
Developers will soon legally destroy endangered species. Stop it before it becomes law. Email your MP today using this link action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/180301/...

The environmental sector is being left out of discussions on environmental protections! This government only has time for the property industry. They are turning their regulators into ‘growth enablers’. It’s not too late to do the right thing Labour and support amendment 130!

It’s not me (bats)… it’s you! (Property developers, empty homes, lack of council funding, airbnbs etc)
Stop blaming wildlife! Direct that anger at the right people!

When you blame bats and newts for the housing crisis the only people that benefit are wealthy property developers and their shareholders!

Here’s the official evidence from the office of environmental protection (the governments own watchdog) which states the planning bill is a regression on environmental protections (so there’s your evidence that it’s ripping up protections)

The government will never solve the housing crisis by blaming bats and newts. Until they address the systemic issues that financialize housing nothing will change. We can’t sacrifice our protected species and habitats to a doomed experiment

93% of the green belt is greenfield land actually. It looks more like this. Theres more ancient woodlands in the greenbelt than car parks.

🦋Butterflies 🦋
Declared extinct in the UK in 1979, the large blue butterfly has been reintroduced. Its survival depends on a symbiotic relationship with one ant species making its habitat requirements exceptionally specialized and difficult to replicate.

🐍 Reptiles 🦎
Sand lizards: found only in the UK's lowland heaths, have suffered up to 97% decline due to habitat loss.
Smooth snakes: Britain's rarest reptiles. Their specialised habitat requirements make them particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation.

Bats whose roosts cannot be simply "replaced", include:
🦇Barbastelles: one of the rarest mammals in Britain.
🦇Bechstein's bat: They are one of the UK's rarest bats partly due to loss of ancient woodlands. They are highly sensitive to habitat disturbance.

🪲Beetles🪲
Stag beetles have declined in many countries, primarily due to loss of decaying wood habitats.
Violet Click Beetle is restricted to three sites in the UK. The loss of any of its breeding trees could be catastrophic and cannot be mitigated.

Natterjack toads: Their habitats are highly specific, and the loss of suitable breeding sites has led to significant population declines.
Common toad: severely affected by land use change. Common toads have declined by 68% over the last 30 years.
