Please add your name so that our moorlands can be rewetted; so that native raptors are no longer persecuted; so that our soil and water are no longer contaminated by lead shot; so that our wild birds no longer have to compete with an estimated 60 million non-native game birds released annually

Linked by who? 🤨 Ah, that would be the Moorland Association, the Countryside Alliance, the Country Land and Business Association and a guy who played cricket. Must be true then 🙄 On the other hand … 1/5

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

This week the Church of England voted down committing to #30by30… But you shouldn’t feel powerless! Here are three things you can do to push the Church to act for nature 👇 1/4

Message reads ‘feeling powerless against big landowners? Do This and then an arrow. It appears above and below a screenshot of the Guardian headline ‘Church of England votes against plan to rewild 30% of its land by 2030

Yesterday a motion to commit @churchofengland.org to #30by30 was *technically* passed... but stripped of all measurable area-based targets and ambition. Watch the video we presented to the Church during yesterday's debate - would you vote yes for nature? Comment below 👇 buff.ly/AK5ejDw

Message To Synod

In July 2026 The Church of England's General Synod had a fantastic opportunity to restore nature on their vast land holdings. This video was created in support of the motion.

BREAKING: The Church of England makes landmark commitment to... business as usual? 🤔 This comes at the same time that the Church announces new teachings for the "mass extinction crisis". The Church of England can talk the talk, but clearly they can't walk the (nature) walk. #SynodVoteForNature

England’s new 30x30 plan was published yesterday on how we get to 30% of land being protected for nature by 2030. But almost immediately, one of the country’s biggest institutional landowners, the Church of England, rejects a measurable 30% restoration target for its own estate. 🧵

Nature is struggling and this is depressing. The Church of England has voted against plans to restore 30% of its land for nature. The C of E owns about 105,000 acres of land. Currently just 3.5% of its land is used for nature restoration. #restorenature @churchofengland.org @wildcard.land #30x30

Campaigners criticise C of E for failing to show moral leadership as one of country’s biggest landowners

"Pathetic": I told the Guardian what I think about the Starmer government's plan for nature It's more of the failed politics of the past 40yrs: failing to take public control of the nature crisis & contracting it out to private landowners. Burnham must do better www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plan to restore nature in England by 2030 criticised as ‘completely insufficient’

Critics accuse ministers of failing to take control of nature crisis and leaving it to private landowners to act voluntarily

A really important message from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social. Church leaders have a moral responsibility to protect the natural world & they have the perfect opportunity to decide to do so on Tuesday - see @wildcard.land for details of how you can add your voice & make sure they do the right thing👇

This Tuesday the @archbishopofcanterbury.org and the members of the @churchofengland.org’s internal parliament, The General Synod, have a massive choice to make that will affect all of us. Will they restore 30% of their land to nature by 2030? #SynodVoteForNature @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
