A very interesting thread.

Good to see this expose of govt. hypocrisy.

Sobering reminder of the danger of ‘shifting baseline syndrome’ where biodiversity decline is normalised by successive generations until people have no idea what’s been lost. Nature recovery is about rewilding ourselves and our expectations as well as restoring the land itself.

I accused naturephobe Rishi Sunak of blocking a popular, cheap, easy measure to reverse the horrifying decline of swifts in the UK (numbers collapsed by 60% between 1995 & 2020). 

Govt has denied this saying: “This is wrong. We are working hard with the sector to promote the…

Not that economic value is the only reason for nature, and I bet this is a huge underestimate, but at least we are starting to say what was previously un-said. Nature destruction will cause bigger economic slump in UK than 2008 crisis, experts warn theguardian.com/environment/20…
