Nature is not a blocker to housing growth, MPs find The Environmental Audit Committee found the government's measures are not enough to meet targets.

New report finds that nature is definitely not a blocker to housing growth: "In most cases, housing delivery is delayed or challenged due to unclear and conflicting policies, land banking and skills shortages." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Peatlands = biodiversity powerhouses. 🌍💚 From Arctic mosses to tropical swamp forests, they host rare & vital species, regulate water & carbon, and support life globally. But they’re under threat. Protect peatlands, protect our future. 🌿

Busy Saturday at the @rspbscotland.bsky.social Forsinard Flows-we had 12 photos come through as part of the Tracking the Colour of Peatlands citizen science project.

Very useful when multiple people send photos from different phones on same day - can use it to calibrate the analysis

Nice video from INCC on 10 years of water vole discovery in the Glamorgan uplands including on several peatland restoration sites. The water vole response to our restoration works at Castell Nos was a key success for us and excited to see what Rob and team learn in the next 10 years
