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

“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👇 wcl.org.uk/docs/nutrient_pol…

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

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
