Tell EPA to be quicker with pesticide suspensions! | Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network (PAN) Join us in telling EPA that the emergency suspension of DCPA should not be an exceptional act. Instead, pesticide registration procedures should seek to protect the public first rather than cater to Big Ag’s bottom line.

I’m so touched to be recognised by the @bristoluni.bsky.social with their 2026 Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award.

The picture of me as an undergraduate in the early 1980s presents a vivid reminder of just how long I’ve been involved with this work!

A moth with a light greyish body and a black tail with three white spots down the side is hovering in front of some clusters of small yellow, bell-shaped flowers. Its wings are a brown blur with bright red-orange patches on the bottom edge. It is a hummingbird hawkmoth and it seems very early in the year for it to be flying.

Somewhat surprised to see this on Sandringham Road, #Norwich today… #moths #teammoth #insects

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Rivers ‘will continue to die’ if nutrient rules change, say green groups Only 14% of the UK’s rivers are in good condition, with nutrient pollution from farms, sewage and wastewater a significant factor.

Ridiculously steep slopes for our Work Party today to clear scrub from one of the last Duke of Burgundy sites left in Dorset. But the steepness is what saved it from fertilizing and allowed wildflowers to survive. It does mean it needs constant attention though @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

If Epstein is Trending, Why Isn’t +1.7°C? The news cycle has become a hall of mirrors: Epstein, Trumpism, war, outrage, retribution. A thousand scandals designed to keep us anxious, tribal, and tired. We have to hold multiple truths at once: ...

"This is the hard truth I want to land: climate does not care what’s trending. It’s not interested in Jeffrey Epstein, Gaza, or Greenland. There is no algorithmic mercy. Physics is physics, and it is getting more abrupt."

A few photos from yesterdays work party to save one of the last sites for the Duke of Burgundy in Dorset. We were blessed with good weather but my goodness, the stopes are steep. Probably one of the reasons the site has escaped fertilizing and ploughing. @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Spotting hedgehogs, birds or butterflies in the city is a cause for celebration. But wildflowers growing on city streets are often seen as a problem. Trevor Dines book and video show people how to fall in love with their pavement weeds @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Rare butterflies bounce back after landowners in Wales cut back on flailing hedges. Great news for Brown Hairstreak in Wales, mirroring our experience in London and Hertfordshire @savebutterflies.bsky.social @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social @hertswildlifetrust.bsky.social

The UK government didn’t want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. Good to see it’s now getting some publicity. Please write to your MP to say it’s been noticed and ask that they press government to take it seriously @savebutterflies.bsky.social @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social

Great to see new hedges being planted, and with a really good mix of food plant species.

Thanks to all your volunteers!
