We will only start to stem loss of wildlife if we each do all we can - this photo is very depressing but there are some good projects to promote wildlife friendly verges @Love_plants @KentWildlife @blue_campaign1 @KentHighways let’s stop the mowing.
Not only has this landowner deprived the verge of its beautiful lady smock but it is killing wildlife, like orange tip butterflies, that rely on it. Depressing act of needless destruction #NoMowMay

@SwanseaCouncil - why are you destroying a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation used by otters and bats for an unrequired cycle path? Have you forgotten your #biodiversityduty? Create a new one, don't destroy a valuable place. @_BCT_ @Mammal_Society @WBP_wildlife

Here's a short species video guide to Medow Grasshopper, a common species you may find in your garden. We are sharing a few video guides to the grasshoppers and bush-crickets (Orthoptera) of south Wales atm, as this is a great time of year to find them. #TeamOrthoptera

Anyone know what this is?

New report: populations of wild vertebrates have fallen by 68% since 1970. Two thirds of life on Earth has gone since I was a child. Can those that still deny we have a biodiversity crisis please wake up.
