Huge win for bird protection! 🇨🇾 CABS just busted a major illegal trapping site in the #Cyprus buffer zone. After monitoring the spot since 2011, they caught a poacher red-handed. The haul? 184 limesticks 16 nets 34 other traps A €9,000 fine Persistence pays off!

This is the aftermath of China's "Electro-Fishing, an extremely destructive method of fishing banned all most all over the world, including China! If this is allowed to continue unchecked, the Chinese will destroy the entire ocean ecosystem worldwide.

Please sign & share the petition to unblock #swift nests at Milton Viaduct. It seems that shaming @networkrail may be the only way to make them do the right thing. Nest holes must be unblocked IMMEDIATELY. protectthewild.org.uk/swift-petition…

Never heard of the Guga hunt? It's where a group of men travel to a remote Scottish island (Sula Sgeir) every year to bludgeon Gannet chicks (Guga) to death for a local delicacy.

Why the silence on this @networkrail? In the face of increasing public anger? These birds will have travelled around 14,000 miles when they return to their nesting holes - only to find them blocked up. Nature is increasingly squeezed into ever-shrinking spaces, forced to fit around our sprawling network of transport and housing and commerce. Please act NOW to rectify your thoughtless actions! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Another stag killed and whole herd terrorised all day thanks to the weak Hunting Act being abused. Just banning "trail hunting" is not enough, the Hunting Act needs a complete overhaul and removal of the vague exemptions that enable bloodsport to continue.

Ah, dandelions. 🌼 If only they were rare, fragile, and hard to cultivate. Then we'd treasure them. But because they are hardy and successful and forgiving and adaptable, we disparage them. Consider them unworthy of our respect. Even though they are the perfect plant - providing green all year round and cheerful flowers in the spring, are edible and highly nutritious, containing vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like calcium and iron, and are our precious pollinator's lifeline. Please find a little love for these hard working flowers and leave them undisturbed, this month at least.

Nesting holes at a viaduct in Derbyshire have been filled in by Network Rail. It is ridiculous. Please ask them to reopen the holes - protectthewild.org.uk/swift-petition/

Hey, @sainsburys - those wicked nets of yours have caught this stunning gull at your store at Hardwick, King’s Lynn. It’s panicking and in full sun. Staff say ‘it’s been reported’ but they can’t do anything. Ridiculous. @SainsburysNews

Massive krill supertrawler Aker BioMarine is vacuuming up the ocean’s most vital species for Swisse’s krill oil supplements. We support the courageous crew of the Bandero for their commitment to protecting from the destructive krill fishing fleet. @BobBrownFndn @CaptPaulWatson

"Please please I'm begging you, stop this cruelty" "It's cruel, it's an abomination, it's got to stop" "Brittany Ferries you're putting profit before principles" We will not give up on these innocent, defenceless calves #stopliveexport @BrittanyFerries @jmrouebferries @kristofbf

Chinese activities near the Ivory Coast are disturbing! Chinese trawlers travel all the way to the Ivory Coast to hunt bottlenose dolphins & other protected species, which is illegal. They overfish, break marine rules & regulations, making survival difficult for local fishermen.

Donkeys are among the most abused and neglected animals. 💔 Look at this helpless soul forced to stand in heavy rain with loads on his back, pushed beyond his limits… until he finally ran and hid in a small space just to feel a moment of safety. A compassionate lady tried to help, recording his condition so that someone would notice his pain. These animals endure unimaginable suffering overworked, beaten, ignored… despite having so many humane alternatives available today. They don’t complain. They don’t fight back. They just suffer in silence. It’s time we open our eyes. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. They deserve care, respect, and kindness not exploitation. #AnimalAbuse

It's called the Guga hunt, where hundreds or thousands of Gannet chicks are snatched from their nests and killed before they can even fly, so their flesh can be sold as a local delicacy. It's hard to believe this is happening in 2026.

Shameful

Swifts don’t touch the earth for nine months of the year and fly about 14,000 miles annually – travelling from sub-Saharan Africa to nest in UK But Britain’s swift in serious trouble as their population fell by two-thirds between 1995 and 2023. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@ProtectTheWild_ How can the licence be justified? @Natures_Voice @NatureScot @DeborahMeaden @BirdgirlUK @ChrisGPackham @exitthelemming @DrAmirKhanGP @PaulMcCartney @Elbow

Our new animation to end the Guga hunt is out NOW. Every year, Gannet seabird chicks are slaughtered for a local delicacy in remote northern Scotland. It's so absurd it seems like fiction - but sadly it's not.

@domdyer70 @TonyJuniper This is why Britain is the most mature depleted country in the world. We build on ancient woodland, we kill foxes and badgers and sea birds blaming them do the shit we do. When are we going to realise it is poor political decisions and profiteering that is depleting our wildlife
