Repealing or weakening legislation protecting bats and other wildlife will accelerate the decline of the species already at risk as well as undermine the conservation status of other species across even larger areas of the UK. Please write to your MP bats.org.uk/news/2022/08/urg…
Fantastic that @TomDaley1994 has made such a supportive gesture to #LGBT+ athletes and citizens of the Commonwealth, but heartbreaking that we, as ‘Great’ Britain are responsible for so much of the oppression that still exists today precisely because of the British Empire #B2022
Tom Daley arrives with the baton! 🤩
The five-time Commonwealth Games medallist shows his solidarity with all LGBT+ athletes and communities.

Did you know water usage is at its highest since 2006?! 😱
Despite the drizzle, the heatwave meant we saw 260 million litres more water used on Monday – that’s the equivalent of supplying York and Leeds!😱

I have to say @TT2Limited I’m very disappointed. Tourist to the area, never used the tunnel before, travelling alone with my child, I missed the toll deadline by a few hours &you still demand the £31.90 fine. Probably just stopped me holidaying in the area again. #WelcomeToTheNE
The more I see of #Paralympic sport, the more I realise that the #Olympics is just the warm up act for these incredible athletes! #SuperHuman #Paralympics2022 #TEAMGB #ParalympicsGB #Gold #WinterParalympics

Wow, just wow. Nature is so incredible! #LoveNature
This is the Japanese Puffer Fish - one of #nature's greatest artists. To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief.
Nature is more amazing than we will ever know. Protect it in all its forms.

What an absolutely beautiful day’s walk up by @YorkshireWater reservoirs Swinsty, John O’Gaunt and Beaver Dyke. Love the #snow!
Just watched this, what a fantastic project. Congratulations to everyone involved! 🏕🚲👷♀️👏
✨ Back in September we were involved in a special project to help transform St Michael’s fields in Hull, as part of the BBC’s DIY SOS: The Big Build’s #ChildrenInNeed Special which airs tonight at 9pm!
Why not give it a watch and see if you can spot any of our colleagues?

We can't halt climate change without a healthier natural world. We need UK & world leaders to tackle the nature & climate crises TOGETHER.

Yorkshire and Humber's Climate Action Plan is out now!
If urgent action is not taken, we'll have used up our carbon budget in six years. That’s why our plan has 50 priority actions for the region to tackle the climate and ecological emergency.
