1/a few *Yesterday, I had two conversations about the threat of swifts, or any species, becoming nationally extinct: one with a politician, the other with a school pupil.
#COP15 thread
2/a few
One reacted by saying they thought it unlikely the government would help swifts because it would set a pretence to help the 69 other species of British birds on the red list. A list defined by the need for ‘urgent action.’

The other said, 'It sounds like a nightmare. How can I help? What can I do?’

One has the power to stop it. One doesn't. One will have to live with the consequences of the choices made by the other.
4/a few
Let’s be clear: national extinction of a species IS a choice. WE have the power to STOP swifts, birds who’ve flown over these skies for over 70 million years, from dying out.
5/a few
#TheFeatherSpeech petition request for a simple brick, paid for by the billion £ private sector, is a life line to stop national extinction. The #King has installed them across the Duchy Estate with great success.
6/a few
Leading scientists + sustainable building assessors are asking for it.
Together we can show we can be role models for the school pupil, and the politician, by actively supporting a solution.
