The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How awful.

The Labour movement has a proud history of cherishing nature. Workers fought for access to the countryside—handing it to developers to destroy for profit betrays that legacy. It’s not too late. Ministers must back my amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.

And it is a superb book!!! Go get it (after mine, of course!)

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

‘Powerful and horrifying’ — David Attenborough’s latest film is a cry to protect our oceans

This is so alarming @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social Our country is already one of the most nature-depleted.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social

Let's hope @teamlabouruk.bsky.social take note. Please @labourlewis.bsky.social put more pressure on this Bill to be stopped or radically changed.

Ratify ocean treaty and ban destructive fishing in protected areas, PM urged by heads of UK environmental charities, following Sir David Attenborough’s new film on the oceans, released to mark his 99th birthday. Emily Beament | The Independent

50 years after the movie Jaws sparked a global fear of sharks, @lewispugh.bsky.social is diving into those same waters to shift the story from fear to respect. UNEP is proud to support our Patron of the Oceans on #TheSharkSwim. lewispughfoundation.org/campaign/sha...

A good day in court; not just for badgers but for all those who continue to voice their opposition against this senseless cull, which has done nothing to reduce TB in cattle. What it has done is to decimate badger numbers in areas where the cull has taken place! wildjustice.org.uk/general/lega...

🌍 UK scientists stage historic climate protest at parliament Chris Packham joins over 150 British experts rallying in London to demand urgent, science-based climate policy By Brian McHugh @brianmchugh.bsky.social @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social

The shocking, violent reality of what bottom trawling does to the seabed and its creatures is filmed and shown for the first time in Ocean with David Attenborough. And then, after all that, three quarters of the catch is thrown away. This is must-watch footage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzG9...

Happy 99th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! Attenborough has been an inspiration to so many people, sharing his love for the planet and advocating to protect it. Check out his new documentary, #OceanFilm - which brings a VITAL message about the need for ocean protection. 🎥 Silverback Films

Now Government’s own impact assessment shows no real evidence to support their argument that nature is a blocker, I look forward to ministers reversing their proposals that will trash nature protections …
