The Government has finally confirmed that the all badger culling will end including in the last cull licence area in Cumbria. After 13 years & the slaughter of 250,000 badgers at a public cost of £100 million this tragedy is finally over. We must now ensure it never starts again under a new Government in 2029. Well done to everyone who took to the fields marched in the streets and stood outside the Courts to end this this cruel costly madness

Catastrophic decision that will see the end of thousands upon thousands of Scottish seabirds. There is just no hope
The Berwick Bank offshore wind farm off Scotland's east coast has been approved. Conservation groups warn it could become the deadliest wind farm for seabirds ever built. The government's own impact assessments predict large numbers of bird deaths, including puffins, kittywakes, gannets, guillemots and razorbills. Despite the objections, the project was just awarded subsidies that will add £1.8 billion in green levies to UK energy bills. The RSPB called the decision an absolute disgrace, saying public money is being used to fund one of the most damaging wind farms for wildlife on earth. Nature is being sacrificed, in the name of saving it.

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care
BAD NEWS💔if the vote had taken place earlier we would have won-Tories (majority) whipped YES but by the time of the vote, support had gone home just like 2 years ago. It is an AGONISING reality. Tell [email protected] what you think. GUTTED. Labour: what a betrayal 😡

The Kittiwake Hotel is fully booked! So cool to see the new hotel being appreciated 😊✊ Built by the local fishermen in Kiberg. We designed and helped to give the project wings, with $ help from a seabird science project. Good conservation with a solid local component 👌#varanger

Aparecen dos nuevos lobos colgados en Ponga (Asturias). Se recoge lo que se siembra. Si el Gobierno agroganadero astur quiere matar lobos, aquí está. Barbón, no se negocia con chantajistas ni terroristas. cc @AdrianBarbon #Ponga #Asturies.
