Proud to be delivering this message to @DefraGovUK today. #ButterflyEmergency

UPDATE: Defra respond – but nature needs action! 🚨🦋
A month has passed since a #ButterflyEmergency was declared, yet @DefraGovUK's response remains vague stating ‘the government is committed to changing existing policies to prevent the use of neonicotinoids.’ 1/4

This year’s #BigButterflyCount results are in and it’s not good news for nature 📰🦋
Overall, participants spotted just 7 butterflies on average per 15-minute Count, a reduction of almost 50% on last year’s average of 12, and the lowest in the 14-year history of the Count. 🧵
Julie Williams retweeted
The #BigButterflyCount 2024 is officially here! 🦋
Our butterflies and moths need our help more than ever. This is why we are urging everyone to get out for the Count to help us conserve them. 💚

“Pesticides are being taken up by wild plants growing in field margins. Butterflies and moths are drinking contaminated nectar and caterpillars feeding on contaminated plants.” - Dr Nigel Bourn, Chief Scientist
It’s time to say #NoToNeonics 👉 butrfli.es/47MdJRT

Rumours are flying around Government’s plans to allow more #NutrientPollution🥀
The plans would be hugely damaging to nature – & are unnecessary👎
We've set out alternative proposals which would protect nature, save taxpayer money & enable new homes👇

You've seen the world-famous climate stripes – and today WWF is adding another stark image to the collection. The forest species stripes show a shocking 79% average decline in species that rely on forests. It’s time to turn the tide and start taking action to bring our forests back to life. @wwf_uk #ForOurWorld #ShowYourStripes @UniofReading @DerbyUni @OfficialZSL
I am super proud that @savebutterflies is a Living Wage Employer, making sure our amazing and dedicated staff can earn a wage that is enough to live on

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments
I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right
The ball is in your court , Prime Minister
