- Reposted by RSPB ActionBREAKING: A Gamekeeper has pleaded guilty in England’s first-ever Hen Harrier persecution case. Covert video and audio gathered lawfully by the RSPB Investigations team has helped expose the deliberate targeting of a Hen Harrier, leading to a landmark guilty plea: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... 👈
- Reposted by RSPB ActionWhat a win for nature! Scotland is the first UK country to have Swift bricks in law – a lifeline for this threatened bird. And, for the first time ever, the Scottish Government must set legally binding nature recovery targets. Thanks for helping make history with a strong Natural Environment Bill.
- Reposted by RSPB ActionToday we raised our voices outside Scottish Parliament in one last push to ensure politicians stand up for Scotland's nature. The Natural Environment Bill could be a game-changer - introducing nature targets and Swift bricks. The final debate starts today, we hope to see major wins for wildlife.
- A National Security Assessment highlighted nature as a national security risk earlier this week. Yet yesterday’s Habitats Regulations report shows many of England’s most important habitats are rapidly declining. Just 3% are in good condition. And half are in an unfavourable and worsening state 🧵
- A country cannot be secure if its natural systems are collapsing.
- Thank you to the 7,000+ people across the UK who stood with us against public money for Berwick Bank. This decision is a blow to our seabirds and to a truly sustainable energy future. Your voices matter. Together, we’ll keep fighting for solutions that protect nature and the climate. 🧵
- Packed house at Oxford Farming Conference today - and no wonder. Farmers shared powerful, real‑world stories of nature‑restoring agriculture delivering hope, resilience and better livelihoods. Proof that farming working with nature just makes sense.
- Farmers are flocking to Oxford for two farming conferences, and we’re joining them! As we step into the new year, we’re sowing the seeds for a future where nature and farming go hand in hand. Keep an eye out here for live updates. #OFC26 #ORFC26
- Thank you to everyone who gave nature a voice in 2025 📣 More than 100,000 actions, from signing petitions to meeting your representatives, helped us fight for wildlife across the UK! Our 2025 round up 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
- Today, the UK Government’s Planning Bill became law – a big blow for wildlife. Thousands of you fought for nature as the Bill passed through Parliament. Now, this isn’t the time to stay silent – nature needs us more than ever. Join us & speak up 👇 action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/action/1
- The UK Government promised to be “the most nature-positive government this nation has ever had.” Today’s decision to exempt more sites from Biodiversity Net Gain - the scheme designed to deliver more wildlife and green spaces where people live - flies in the face of that pledge.
- Join the over 35,000 people taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2026! Its the UK’s largest citizen science wildlife survey 23-25 January - easily done from your garden, balcony or local green space 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
- We’re celebrating the birds on our maps but losing them in the real world. If trends continue, those road names might be the last place these species survive. 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Last week we made a special delivery to Defra! We brought our giant Christmas card to Emma Reynolds MP and @angelaeagle1.bsky.social Farmland wildlife like Turtle Doves are in trouble. Nature-friendly farmers can help England’s nature recover, but they need UK Government support.

- The status quo isn't working. Today’s National Emergency Briefing was a wake up call to those in power – we need action. @nebriefing.bsky.social

- Nature is not a “blocker” to delivering new housing – it’s necessary. A new cross-party report blows apart the myth that nature slows development. The real blockers? Skills shortages, weak incentives for greener homes and planning rules that sideline sustainability.

- Pitting nature against development is a false choice. A well-designed planning system can deliver both. Email your MP before they vote tomorrow afternoon and help call for a Planning Bill that delivers for wildlife and people 👇 action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/...
- Yesterday’s debate saw some progress for nature but there’s a long way to go. Big win as Peers backed Am 130: limiting Environmental Delivery Plans to where they’ll be most effective ✅ But Am 114 was withdrawn: losing a chance to strongly embed climate & nature in planning ❌
- Protecting and restoring nature is at the heart of tackling the climate crisis. It’s good to see this recognised in the Carbon Delivery Plan announced today. Healthy woodlands, peatlands and wetlands do more than store carbon - they support wildlife and protect communities 🧵
- October marks Black History Month, and we’re looking at why this celebration matters to campaigning and conservation this month and beyond. 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

- Win for nature-friendly farming! UK Government’s one-year extension of some nature-friendly farming agreements in England gives breathing space for those making space for wildlife on farms. But it’s only a stop-gap, we need a long-term plan for the future 🧵 👇
- We’re proud to join over 170 organisations calling on the UK Government to protect our National Parks, not weaken them. Nature can’t afford a step backwards 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

- The Planning Bill will have huge consequences for England’s wildlife. UK Govt amendments – won after thousands spoke up – improved some parts. But risks remain, and we’re working to ensure safeguards are watertight. What’s changed & what’s still at stake 🧵👇
- Going on a seed hunt? Responsible seed gathering is a great way to embrace autumn - and can help nature in your garden or green space too. Here's what to look out for 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/helping-natu...
