GOOD NEWS: deforestation in the Brazilian #Amazon has fallen to its lowest level since records began in 1988. 🌳🌴 We have the ability to bring our world back to life if we KEEP GOING. 💚🌎

The #LivingPlanetReport shows nature loss is reversable. In 2025, the green turtle became the first marine turtle species globally to ever to be downlisted from Endangered to Least Concern, after decades of work to protect them. The crisis isn't over, but wildlife can come back from the brink.👏

Good news for your feed: A koala was spotted returning to restored forest. 🌿🐨 Following devastating wildfires, WWF-Australia, with WWF-UK’s support, focused on regenerating habitat for koalas. In December 2025, a koala returned to a young forest in New South Wales for the first time. 🎉

Good change is possible. With clear goals, a realistic pathway to achieve them, the agency to deliver, and the resilience to overcome barriers, a future where people and nature thrive can become a reality.

The Jackdaw approval is deeply disappointing. The facts: ‼️ Jackdaw would supply 2% of UK gas demand in its lifetime ‼️ With gas priced internationally, Jackdaw won't lower energy bills More drilling will NOT help people, nature & our energy security. We need a fair renewable energy transition. 🍃

New oil & gas drilling WON'T reduce energy bills.⚠️ It WILL put more pressure on a climate in crisis, and damage our precious natural world. After a summer when extreme heat caused 1000s of excess deaths, and wildfires to rip through the country, this is a deeply disappointing and misguided move.

BREAKING: UK government have made the irressponsible decision to approve Jackdaw gas field. 🚨 Fossil fuels are not the future. The truth is this decision will only support a support a tiny number of jobs, do nothing to lower prices, all while causing further harm to our planet.

GOOD NEWS! 🦏 Kenya’s black rhino population has increased to 1,147. This is an 8% increase to the population in just one year. It’s an encouraging step that brings Kenya closer to its goal of 2,000 black rhinos by 2037.

Wild bird populations in the UK have fallen to their lowest level since records began. ⚠️ We're at risk of losing the wildlife we love. We need to see urgent action to protect and restore nature.

Keep a look out for barnacle geese when getting your daily dose of nature. You might hear them before you see them as they approach with a noisy chorus! They arrive from October to escape the harsh winters in Greenland and Svalbard, and they’ll stay put until March. 🪿 #Wildlife #Nature

Our rivers are feeling the pressure, and climate change is making things worse. ⚠️ But, again, there is HOPE. 💙 The new #StateOfOurRivers Report explores the challenges facing rivers across the UK and Ireland – and the evidence that action can make a difference. 👉 theriverstrust.org/state-of-our...

We’re losing nature faster than ever before. The Living Planet Report reveals the scale of the challenge facing our natural world, from the wildlife and habitats we love to the ecosystems that provide the food, water and climate stability we all depend on.

The good news is nature loss can be reveresed. 🌱 But for this to happen we need to see a change in the systems that are driving it. Food, energy and finance all have a critical role to play. #LivingPlanetReport

The tale of the bluefin tuna is just one story that shows how nature can make a comback. 🐟 We just need to give it a chance. 💚

Tackling climate change and restoring nature aren't red tape. Rolling back environmental protections won't make us safer or more prosperous; it will only leave people & wildlife more exposed to risk. ⚠️ We urge all politicians to focus on real solutions that will protect us.

Fresh research suggests Brits are happiest when they're connected to #nature. We can't say we're surprised. Seeing the stars. 🌌 Hearing the waves. 🌊 Smelling the air after rain. 🌧️ What's your favourite way to get your daily dose of nature?

Anyone in Europe will have felt the heat, but the latest data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social makes it clear just how extreme this summer was. 🌡️ We need to see real action for #Climate if we don't want this to become the norm. 🌍⚠️

Some steps in the right direction in yesterday's speech, but if the PM wants to bring down household bills this will need to be combined with a transition to clean energy. 🔋⚡ We CAN protect the natural world, people, AND our energy security if we act now. 💚
