'Research shows the UK has just 53% of its biodiversity intact, placing us in the bottom 10% of countries worldwide β and the lowest in the G7.

A bright blue tile with a green and blue chevron banner across the top and the words βToday wildlife in Scotland got a much-needed reprieve. Weβre delighted MSPs voted to remove Part 2 of the Natural Environment Bill, which poses a serious threat to nature through powers that would undermine our most important wildlife protections. This Bill should be a turning point for Scotlandβs nature, offering real hope to restore our cherished wildlife. We are one step closer to it being the win wildlife needs, but we must make sure Part 2 is not put back in when it gets to the final stage.β
π’Great news! Today, MSPs voted to remove Part 2 of the Natural Environment Bill, a serious threat to wildlife.
Thanks to everyone who spoke up! π¦π±
Weβre not out of the woods yet though as it could return. Help us keep the pressure up for the Billβs final stage: action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...
π¨GOOD NEWS: Seabed mining blocked in the Cook Islands thanks to local resistance.
Itβs a massive win for Pacific Peoples and communities fighting this emerging threat.
