11 days after the first, another young #fox found drowned in the fountain in St George's Square Garden this morning π This was preventable. @CityWestminster please provide safe drinking water for wildlife π Please act quickly. You can stop this happening again @WildlifeTrusts

A fox was found drowned in the fountain of St George's Square Garden, Pimlico, this morning. We had ladders installed to prevent drownings of squirrels. What can be done to save larger mammals? This must not happen again π¦π @LDNgreenspaces @CityWestminster @ChrisGPackham

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Why is the world afraid of long grass/meadows? For those adopting a #NoMowSummer, I applaud youπ You are setting the standard & 100% helping your local wildlife. Since we are no longer in May, Iβm conscious the mowers are being dusted off, so Iβd just like to say #JuneIsTooSoon

[Demand 5/5] Fair and effective climate actionπ³
We cannot save nature without solving the climate crisis.
We want investment in warm homes and lower bills by increasing home energy efficiency, supporting active travel and public transport, and replacing polluting fossil fuels with affordable renewables to ensure we at least halve UK emissions by 2030.

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

Sad to report that the buddleia which is so important to pollinators has been reduced to a stump while the sycamore seedings and bindweed have ben left to flourish. Why @CityWestminster ? #RestoreNatureNow #SaveTheBees

To finish our thread, we're focusing on an often overlooked habitat. Green spaces in towns and cities play an important role in our well-being by bringing nature into our daily lives. Celebrate #EarthDay by getting outdoors and seeing which of these species you can find! π (6/6)
