Iberian orcas are suffering - we are just about to start our 2025 #SaveTheIberianOrca campaign and the first things we see…a youth male with deep propeller cuts and a female entangled in fishing gear…

Butterflies are sounding the alarm for nature 🚨🦋 2024 was one of the worst years on record for UK butterflies. If we are to restore nature and save our butterflies and moths we must act now. Pledge to grow, not mow, this summer 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/m… #ButterflyEmergency

Crikey what a journey this has been. After a week of travelling, days spent battling through monster waves, and lots of card games with fellow Antarctic adventures, my boots have finally hit the ground and I’ve spent the morning surrounded by Gentoo penguins. 🐧 @ExplorEarthGo

Much rarer than white rhinos and in the midst of (another) dramatic population decline and yet very few people are talking about this and even less conservation action happening. Well done @NatureNorthEast for a cracking shot and for giving this amazing bird a bit of limelight
Only a few weeks left before our Greenland White-fronts head back north. Another year, another decrease in our wintering numbers, with only 3 juvenile birds observed amongst the flock. Here’s hoping they have a more productive 2025 breeding season. 🤞 @RSPBScotland The Oa

Toxic lead is banned in petrol, paint & pipes—but in 2025, it’s still in our food. 7K tonnes of lead ammo pollute our environment yearly, killing 100,000 UK water birds. It’s time to #BanLead for good. Call on the Secretary of State now👉 lnkd.in/e25fxdcm @WWTworldwide

🍽️ In this restaurant, every meal is life-changing… but not for the right reasons. Toxic lead has been banned from petrol, paint and pipes - but in 2025 it is still turning up on our plates. Can you call on the Secretary of State to #BanLead for good? 👉act.wwt.org.uk/page/160992/a…
