Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

But in ecosystem terms, tree falls like this are fantastic, injecting ecological dynamism that will benefit *so* many living things. 🌎

Flooding is a great example of why we need the Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill
We need to reforest uplands & 'rewild' rivers and floodplains - which could & should deliver triple benefits for mitigation, adaptation & nature
Think how much easier that'll be with joined-up legislation!

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law
But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well...
Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill
