Our new paper led by Mattia Mancini explores the trade-offs in the UK's #BiodiversityNetGain policy, and shows how current implementation compares, on multiple dimensions, to options which maximise either biodiversity gain or access for people sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Brilliant to work with @NatDuffus on this important paper. The culmination of several years' work examining how the BNG Metric lines up with primary invertebrate field data @oxmartinschool @NatureRecovery. 1/2
Very excited to share our new pre-print! @miniwildlife and I looked at the relationship between the metric used to evidence BNG in England and ground invertebrate biodiversity 🪲🕷️1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

While area-condition metrics are an incredibly helpful tool for decision making, accompanying data remains essential. Without it, we risk not fully understanding our biodiversity impacts! 6/6

Where are all the butterflies? Years of habitat destruction, climate breakdown and pesticide use have taken their toll. If we're to restore nature and save our butterflies and moths we must act now. Sign our letter to @SteveReedMP 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/e… #ButterflyEmergency

Following @RachelReevesMP promise to "get Britain building again", we call on the new UK Government to take a coordinated, cross-departmental approach that addresses the housing, nature and climate crises together🏡 Read our blog from @beckyjpullinger 👇wildlifetrusts.org/blog/beck…

🌳🧵Can you tell the difference between politicians who care about nature recovery and those who'll just back business as usual? Here are 6 questions I'll be asking #GeneralElection candidates when they appear at my door.
