@Elizabeth_Ruler Only if you can create genuine revenue streams to compensate rural communities living with wild animals. Tourism cannot be a panacea.

@BenGoldsmith It is time for frank and honest facts. Modern agriculture is responsible for most of the biodiversity loss since 1970. Pesticide, herbicide and fertiliser use is as bad as ever. DEFRA has all the stats and the Govs own agencies state this is the case.

Michael Gove accuses Labour of ‘profound biodiversity mistake’ After 10 years of hard work, the government is rolling out a fair and effective mechanism for developers to pay for the nature recovery which we so badly need. The quid pro quo is that they get their planning approved faster. It’s a genius policy. The Labour government is making a big mistake creating all this uncertainty around it. Let Biodiversity Net Gain flourish! thetimes.com/article/453863…

@ASWoodward1 BNG Net Gain should not apply where the current value of the land is between zero and 5 according to NPPF. This is a total abuse of BNG legislation. The Pleasure Gardens have been a public events space for over 100yrs.

@CarolineLucas Let us deal in facts. Modern farming caused 60% decline farmland birds. Relying on tons of pesticides & herbicides. Developers are funding mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain of 10% PLUS mitigation for Birds, Bats, Reptiles, GCN, Nutrient Neutrality.

On the same day we learn over half of Britain’s 59 native butterfly species are in long-term decline & in one of most nature depleted countries in the world, this slash & burn approach to growth spells disaster for nature & for longterm sustainability theguardian.com/environment/20…

A real honour to be at the first public viewing of Wilding @LittleTheatreUK in Bath and to field a Q&A with the inimitable @isabella_tree afterwards. This is a beautiful film which superbly showcases the major challenges and incredible wildlife of the @KneppWilding journey so far

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/3P85KHU That's $19.2 billion per day, $799 million per hour, $13.3 million every minute. The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

@domdyer70 I weep everytime i see these pics, but you have to replace the TH industry with something. You need a deep understanding of rural economies in Africa. There are no simple answers.
