Heartbreaking. 💔 The government has rejected proposals to protect England’s chalk streams. The UK is home to 85% of the world’s chalk streams, rare, precious ecosystems found almost nowhere else on Earth. These rivers are our nation’s rainforest, crystal-clear lifelines for biodiversity, heritage and communities. We cannot afford to lose them in the name of short-term economic growth. Some things are too rare to risk, too vital to ignore. 🌿 Chalk streams need protection. Not promises. #SaveOurRivers #ChalkStreams #NatureNotNeglect
