We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

Help save nature by rewilding the Church’s massive landholdings!

Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail, indicator of unpolluted freshwater. Rachel Reeves boasted she unblocked a development being held up by snails, a protected species, microscopic snails you can't see. This dismissive, ignorant attitude towards our environment has no place in government.

Very low water levels in Dartmoor's reservoirs, so the ideal time to check for exposed aquatic plants. Littorella uniflora (left) mostly high and dry, and Isoetes echinospora (right) still mostly underwater. @DABotany @BSBIbotany #TwitterNatureCommunity

🌳 Dame Judi Dench is calling for the return of ancient woodlands. Will you sign the petition to help restore the Ghost Woods and protect our green spaces for future generations? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

Bring back the ancient woodlands smothered beneath your timber...

Ancient woodlands are vanishing – and with them, some of our most loved and endangered wildlife. Over 100,000 acres of our public forests used to be ancient woodland - that’s bigger than the Isle...

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/0bjy

Sign the petition: Save Our Swifts

Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple £35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition...
