Forest City schemes and scams. They are advertising on FB/Instagram to people across the E of England that they can stop housing targets elsewhere if people sign their petition!

The Government's own National Security Assessment identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as imminent risks to our security, resilience and prosperity. Nature is not a luxury. Healthy ecosystems are the foundation of our food security, public health, economic resilience and national wellbeing. As climate and ecological crises deepen, protecting and restoring nature is essential to our collective future. That's why I have sponsored @AdrianRamsay's parliamentary motion, which calls on the Government to recognise Nature as a rights-bearing entity, establish a duty of care towards Nature, and ensure that public policy supports the protection, restoration and regeneration of the living systems on which we all depend.

@mod_dio must finally agree to have an evidence-based management plan. @NaturalEngland advise the need for a holistic plan including management of Gorse. They must designate if MOD continues to refuse to comply.
