When we restore nature, nature restores us. 🌍

Just look at this before and after! 🙌 We supported communities to plant 33,000 mangrove seedlings in Lamu, Kenya. A year later, things are looking good! Monitoring confirmed regeneration of key mangrove species and the return of wildlife to the site. A sign the ecosystem is healing. 💚

Imagine having #snowleopards in your back garden. 🗻 This is the reality for some communities living in high altitudes. That’s why we’re helping people and wildlife coexist by supporting farmers in keeping their livestock safe from predators such as snow leopards.

The UK is turning brown under prolonged heat and drought. Hardly any rain and weeks of hot weather are taking a real toll. Drier weather is damaging crops, putting pressure on food production, increasing water shortages and creating the conditions for wildfires to spread. This is not normal.

BBC Verify's analysis indicates “vegetation stress” in many areas, which may affect wildlife and farming.

While wildfires burn and communities suffer across Europe, fossil fuel giants are cashing in. If we’re serious about tackling the climate crisis, the answer is NOT more fossil fuels. It’s investing properly in renewable energy to cut emissions, cut bills and protect nature.

Nepal's tiger population is now over 420 individuals! 🐅 ❤️ Tiger numbers were as low as around 120 individuals in 2010. They have bounced back thanks to strong collaboration between Nepal’s government, partners like WWF, and the communities who live alongside them. 💚 #GlobalTigerDay

Hundreds of firefighters are battling wildfires across the UK, residents have been evacuated from parts of Scotland, and some fires have burned for weeks. Climate change doesn't usually light the match, but hotter, drier conditions are making wildfires like these more likely and more severe.

A marine heatwave has pushed UK sea temperatures well above average this summer. 🌡️ Heatwaves are disrupting species and putting vital coastal defences under pressure. We can't afford to look away. Protecting and restoring these habitats gives Britain's coast a fighting chance. ✅

Did you catch us out and about in London yesterday? We were in Westminster making sure our message to the new PM is clear: it's time for action for nature and climate.

A large billboard is carried on an EV in front of the Houses of Parliament in London. It displays a picture of a tiger staring at the camera from behind foliage, and reads 'All eyes on you, Andy. Over 75% of people care about nature and climate. Now we need action.'A large billboard is carried on an EV in front of the London Eye.

British people care deeply about nature & climate, but many don't believe politicians feel the same. As Andy Burnham steps into No. 10, our message to him is clear: protect nature, tackle climate change and build a safer future for people & wildlife. We're ready to make it happen.

We’re helping tiger populations recover in Myanmar! 🐅 The Northern Forest Complex is one of the country’s last strongholds for tigers. But these incredible big cats are under pressure from deforestation, shrinking habitats and declining prey populations. 👇

Basking sharks are the largest fish in UK seas. 🦈 They can grow up to 12 metres long, the size of a double-decker bus! 🚌 They’re most commonly seen cruising British coastal waters in summertime, especially off Cornwall, the west coast of Scotland, the English Channel, and the Isle of Man.

June 2026 was western Europe’s hottest June on record and the second warmest globally. Back-to-back heatwaves, record sea temperatures, drought and wildfires are harming people and nature. It's a stark reminder that climate extremes are happening and they are certainly NOT normal.

A blooming brilliant win this #NationalMeadowsDay! 🙌 Together with our partners Reckitt, we've restored over 360 football pitches of wildflower habitat across the UK. Where wildflowers bloom, wildlife thrives. 🌼💚

Text title reads ‘360 football pitches of wildflower habitat restored in UK.’

A new report shows climate change is already impacting UK bird populations. Upland birds & seabirds face steep declines in their numbers underlining the need for action, while some southern species are expanding their ranges. Find out more: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... @btobirds.bsky.social 🪶

A little reminder that dinosaurs still exist. 🦕 Hoatzins are coming to the end of their first egg-laying season of the year. These birds bear a striking resemblance to Archaeopteryx, the famous bird-like dinosaur, and are a great reminder that not all the dinos went extinct!

Great news for our oceans! 🦀 Since 2019, we've planted 4.9 million seeds through Seagrass Ocean Rescue. 🎉 Seagrass meadows protect coastlines & shelter marine life, but the UK has lost 92% over the last century. Our restoration plots are even spreading on their own, beyond where we planted. 🙌
