Another fabulous site for nature under threat. When will the #BiodiveristyCrisis be taken as seriously as the #ClimateCrisis?

The second round of this fabulous initiative to mainstream #naturebasedsolutions through the medium of comics is now live (and this time it is open to comic artists outside of the EU!), so why not get involved: thenatureofcities.com/nbs-co… #NBSComics @UEL_News

Hi @lisanandy. As a professional ecologist, can I remind you that 'brownfield land', 'scrubland' and 'wasteland' outside of the green belt are some of the most biodiverse areas left in lowland Britain. Can Labour be trusted with the environment & nature conservation?
