Less than one day before the 2025 season comes to an end and what a year it's been!

We cannot find words to express how much we appreciate every person and organisation who's supported us this past year, but "thank you" is a good start! (1)

UK wildlife is in deep trouble – here's what needs to change The government's new environmental plan is a start, but without a radical shift, UK nature and biodiversity will remain on a downward curve.

'Research shows the UK has just 53% of its biodiversity intact, placing us in the bottom 10% of countries worldwide – and the lowest in the G7. This means that one in six species across Great Britain is now at risk of extinction.'- Sienna Somers, Friends of the Earth www.bigissue.com/opinion/uk-w...

πŸ“–New report!

Behavioural science can help Scotland meet its climate goals, but it’s not yet widely used in our policymaking.

This report summarises a roundtable with Scottish Government on key challenges and six projects to trial over the next six months.

β€œWe are stronger when we connect our issues - and stand together to demand justice.” 🀝

At the weekend we took to the streets in huge numbers to show that people are demanding climate action.

A better world is possible – and on days like Saturday – we know that it is coming!
