We’ve been overwhelmed by the support for our e-action, 77,284 at last count! Lots of you are getting replies from your MPs. It is great to read the positive ones, but we know many of you are disappointed that some have been less positive (1/5)
Thanks to your support, the media coverage on the recent UK #Government announcements has been very fast-paced. Some MPs have questioned why we are claiming this is an #AttackOnNature, so it’s important that we are clear on why we, the RSPB, are raising concerns about this. (2/5)
We are raising the alarm about what recent announcements could mean for nature, the environment and for people. If you have had a response from your MP questioning our position or facts, here's some guidance to help you respond! bit.ly/AttackOnNature2 (3/5)
We are still hoping that the Secretary of State for the Environment @ranil will agree to meet with us, to talk about any policy changes in more detail. (4/5)
We would welcome the opportunity to offer our decades of expertise, to help ensure UK Government policies are the best in the world for both nature and the #Economy (5/5)

🚨Today UK Gov re-committed to its legal obligations in the Environment Act to start nature’s recovery by 2030. But it is still proposing big changes to how it will protect & restore wildlife in England. We want to be reassured. We haven’t yet seen enough to reassure us. Thread👇
Bottom line: a target to restore nature isn’t enough if you’re dismantling the very protections that will help you achieve it. 2/18
It’s like saying you want to drive to London but then removing the wheels & emptying the fuel tank before you set out. The ambition is still there, but there wouldn’t be much progress. 3/18

⚠️⚠️Over the past few days, the Government has launched an #AttackOnNature. We’ve been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from YOU 🙏❤️

Now, what next – here's the plan. Thread 1/14 Image
There’s more to follow. Much more. But the very first thing is to leave all our MPs in absolutely NO doubt as they sit in their party conferences that you care about wildlife, and this is a huge issue. 2/14
To do this all you need to do is click here 👇👇 on our new e-action, and follow the instructions. Please, please help. Click the link now. 3/14

It’s been a tough few days. The Government has launched an #AttackOnNature.

But YOU have stood up for wildlife. In your hundreds of thousands. Because YOU care. And you are being heard. Thank you, all of you. 🙏❤🌍

But there’s more to do … (short!) thread 1/4 Image
We’ve been reading all your amazing suggestions. Tomorrow we’ll be looking closely at these, talking with our partner wildlife organisations, and considering where we all take this next. 2/4
And also, tomorrow, we are going to challenge the government to answer some key questions about their proposals – we’re certainly going to need your help with that. 3/4

🚨 Yet another Gov #AttackOnNature? The third in as many days? @DefraGovUK please say it’s not true that the Government is going to break another promise and scrap the new scheme that supports nature friendly farming? 1/14
What’s happening? We are hearing that the Government is about to scrap the Environment Land Management Scheme (aka ELMS). 2/14

theguardian.com/environment/20…
Under this new scheme farmers are paid taxpayers' money in order to help protect nature. Without this many farmers would struggle to help wildlife and balance the books. 3/14

I’m running an educational event called Save Sheffield Wildlife, to teach the community about the decline in our precious wildlife. #GBGW
I’m sharing infographics on wildflowers to show the community how they can rewild their gardens to attract local wildlife. #GBGW
I’m also using crafts to teach my community. Adults are writing on ‘leaves’ what they would like to see for a green future for Sheffield – to be collected on a tree.

⚠️😡Make no mistake, we are angry. This Government has today launched an attack on nature. We don’t use the words that follow lightly. We are entering uncharted territory. Please read this thread. 1/13
As of today, from Cornwall to Cumbria, Norfolk to Nottingham wildlife is facing one of the greatest threats it’s faced in decades. 2/13
What the Government has proposed in today’s mini-budget on top of yesterday’s announcements potentially tears up the most fundamental legal protections our remaining wildlife has. 3/13
