Scars from the world's first deep sea mining test 50 years on Half a century after the world's first deep sea mining tests picked nodules from the seafloor off the US east coast, the damage has barely begun to heal.

Major expose of deep sea mining's lasting damage and huge risks.

🌀 The Government did not accept the Committee’s recommendation to pledge new and additional funding for the new Loss and Damage Fund.

🐠 The Government has yet to bring forward the legislation required to ratify the UN Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (‘Global Oceans Treaty’)

UK Government: deliver a Global Ocean Treaty now

Industrial fishing, drilling, mining, warming and plastic threaten one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Only 3% of our oceans are properly protected. To protect at least 30% by 2030, governments need to sign and implement the Global Ocean Treaty⏬

Fox hunting is a barbaric practice that belongs in the past. It’s not a sport; it’s cruelty disguised as tradition.

How is this still happening in 2025? It’s time to end this disgraceful bloodshed for good!

Some 100 million sharks are killed for shark fin soup every year drove.com/.2Mw1 Their fins are hacked off, and the shark - still alive - is dumped back into the sea to die.
Please write to the Sec-General of CITES, Ivonne Higeuro, asking for better protection for sharks to stop the finning.

Plastics become growth driver for oil groups during energy transition Focusing more on petrochemicals offers a hedge against falling demand for vehicle fuel

As global talks start in Korea to contain the environmental scourge of plastics, this dynamic is worth being aware of

"at some point this decade, petrochemicals [mostly plastic] will become the main driver of oil demand growth"

Fossil fuel lobbyists already out in force

The Environment Act allows developers to destroy biodiversity, so long as they offset it elsewhere

But nature is irreplaceable - the only way to replace a 200 year old tree is wait 200 years

4️⃣ The #CANBill prioritises avoiding the damage, using the Conservation & Mitigation Hierarchy

⚡ ESSENTIAL READING! ⚡

📣 If you read one thing today, make it this.

👏 Huge thanks to #CANBill champion, @charliejgardner.bsky.social.

✊ We’re so proud to be campaigning with you, Charlie.

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law

But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well...

Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

Needed a little detox today out with the camera

#Birds
There used to be millions—now African penguins are on the brink of extinction—and it's all our fault.

They could be gone in less than 4,000 days.

In this link there's a petition to sign to protect their food sources effectively (takes 5 seconds):

We've just published our latest report: COLLATERAL DAMAGE, highlighting the widespread poisoning of birds of prey in England by the misuse & abuse of rodenticides.

Govt scheme to reduce exposure has failed.

Countries could use nature to ‘cheat’ on net zero targets, scientists warn By relying on natural carbon sinks such as forests and peatlands to offset emissions, governments can appear closer to goals than they actually are

Another reminder: offsetting is a con. We need to BOTH care for nature as a carbon store AND stop burning fossil fuels
