Labour promised to restore nature. ❌

Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.

We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.

Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.

Without significant change, it must be scrapped.
Screenshot of a Guardian news article with the headline: “Wildlife charities urge Labour to scrap ‘licence to kill nature’ in planning bill.” The subheading reads: “Conservationists say part of bill allowing developers to avoid environmental laws by paying into nature fund should be ditched.” Below, a protest photo shows handmade signs in woodland. One reads “BAT FACTS – 14 species of bat in Buckinghamshire. Bats are the only mammals that can fly.” Another says “FAT CATS KILL BATS” in bold letters. The image underscores public anger and the scale of opposition to the proposed Planning Bill.

We’ve just delivered a message to Downing Street, backed by over 100,000 of you.‼️

Farmers, NGOs and the public are standing together to demand action.

UK Government, this is a call you can't afford to ignore.

Any cut now would be a disaster for farming and nature.
A group of campaigners from the RSPB and partner organisations stand in front of the Houses of Parliament, holding bold signs calling for support for nature-friendly farming. One sign reads “Nature can’t afford a pay cut!” while others say “Farm with nature” and “To grow food, we need nature.” Three people wear oversized bird head costumes, and at the centre, a young woman holds a box showing the petition total: 106,744 signatures. The mood is determined and urgent, highlighting public support for protecting nature’s farming budget.

Almost 500 of you have already called on Scottish Ministers to reject the #BerwickBank windfarm and get behind nature positive offshore wind🍃

Locally a divisive, upsetting debate has been raging in West Yorkshire about the placing of a massive wind farm on a legally protected SSSI nature hotspot. The company left the community in limbo for a year, cruelly trying to wear people down. #savewalshawmoor www.jackwallington.com/renewables-a...

I bloody love wind turbines! They look beautiful - modernist windmills generating future electricity for minimal cost. They are one of the greatest symbols of hope that humanity has ever created. More...

“This is a really critical decision point”

We're calling for Scottish Ministers to say no to Berwick Bank.

This mega windfarm proposal would be a disaster for Scotland's seabirds.

If it is refused, it would unlock a host of nature-friendly offshore projects.
