This is a tremendous step forward: bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
If it's designed well, this target could power the policy & investment needed to turn round the decline of #nature at last.
Thank you to everyone who has joined the #StateofNature campaign! Keep going until it's in law.

It has been brilliant to see the #environment movement unite for this critical law for wildlife, combining @WCL_News members with great friends like @Team4Nature & @mentalhealth.
Thank you @DefraGovUK for listening to the 60+ charities and 160,000+ people backing #StateofNature.

Now we need to make sure that the details of the target are right: it must cover as many #species as possible, with measures for abundance & diversity of #wildlife. We'll need an action plan for delivery, clear reporting to Parliament and accountability.
If the Government gets this right, it could inspire legal targets for #wildlife around the world ahead of new talks on the Convention on Biological Diversity. A #NetZero for #nature to help avert the #ecologicalcrisis and #climatechange.
Let's get it right!
Let's get it right!
Next steps, continuing to strengthen the #EnvironmentBill with our friends and partners for #StateofNature at @GreenAllianceUK & @GreenerUK_. Thanks team!
& many thanks to MPs & Peers of all parties who've campaigned with us for a legal target for nature. @CarolineLucas, @kateparminter, @uxbridgewalrus & @hilarybennmp have each led brilliant policy motions or amendments, backed by @ChrisGPackham & @SteveBackshall over many years.
we're getting there - now time to get the detail right and get it on the statute book!
