The Chancellor spoke of ‘fixing the foundations.’ But no foundation is more vital – or more at risk – than nature. It underpins our health, our economy, and our food security. The government must continue to invest in its recovery: because there is no future without it.

We are taking steps to help our wetlands become more resilient and adaptable to climate change. Find out more here - youtu.be/m6KGt7uOMqY?si… @BirdLife_News

Boom boom! From 0 to record-breaking, record numbers of booming Bitterns were heard @rspbstaidans in Yorkshire! 🎉Thanks to conservation efforts this once UK extinct species is thriving again :) 📽️RSPB images.

Please also report all dead and sick birds to BirdTrack for monitoring purposes. The ‘Deceased bird’ tool on the BirdTrack mobile app is a really quick and easy way to report dead and sick birds

Swifts live a life on the wing. From fledging at around 6 weeks old to the first time they breed at 3-4 years, they are unlikely to have touched the ground. They'll fly around 7000 miles each year and can reach speeds of 70mph. #SwiftAwarenessWeek

Thanks for posting your July cover photo competition entries! It was another very difficult choice for our team. Congrats go to @LoTaylor23 for winning the July comp with this super pic of a Cormorant drying its wings in the summer sun, flanked by a Cormorant on either side! ☀️

For months, alongside farmers, supporters, and nature groups, we’ve made the case for protecting nature-friendly farming. Today, we’re pleased to see @hmtreasury has listened: the nature-friendly farming budget has been maintained. This is a crucial step, but nature needs more.

It’s the first World Saltmarsh Day! These wildlife filled habitats are also great buffers against the effects of climate change, reducing flooding and capturing carbon. Dive into some of England’s East Coast Wetlands [down arrow] #WorldSaltmarshDay @WWTworldwide

Bottom trawling tears up fragile seabed habitats & harms the life that depends on them. Today’s UK Government decision to ban it in 40+ Marine Protected Areas offers hope: a chance to let our seas recover & life return. 🌊 Let's see Marine Protected Areas live up to their name.

Huge congratulations to Roy, Sharon, Pete and the Manchester Swift City project, this year’s winners of the President's award in England. Read more about their incredible contributions ➡️ brnw.ch/21wTgQl
