Timothy Bird+FollowAre UK Homebuilders Skipping Nature Duty?Here’s the tea: UK homebuilders might soon get a free pass to skip replacing nature when building new homes, thanks to a proposed rule change. If this goes through, most new builds could bulldoze green spaces without planting anything back. That’s a big deal for wildlife and anyone who loves a walk in the park. The drama? Developers could self-declare their projects as exempt, and critics say this loophole is being used way too much. If you want to help, even planting a few wildflowers at home makes a difference! #Business #Homebuilding #NatureMatters10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBees Are in Trouble—Here’s Why It MattersBees aren’t just dodging pesticides anymore—now they’re up against warzones, microplastics, and even light pollution! A new report says these threats could wipe out pollinators in the next decade, which is bad news for our food and the planet. But there’s hope: from planting more flowers to pushing for better laws, we can actually help turn things around. Every little action counts—your garden could be a bee’s new favorite hangout! #SaveTheBees #Pollinators #EcoFriendly #NatureMatters #ClimateAction #Science70Share
Michelle York+FollowWater Canals: The Hidden Wildlife TrapWho knew water canals could be such a nightmare for animals? Scientists are calling them 'silent killing machines' because so many creatures fall in and can’t get out—over 200 animals from 35 species in just six months! These canals also split up habitats, making it even harder for wildlife to survive. Some fixes like bridges exist, but they don’t work for everyone. It’s wild how something meant to help us is quietly hurting the planet. Would you have guessed? #WildlifeCrisis #EcoAlert #Conservation #SilentKillers #NatureMatters #Science110Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowWildlife Is Moving In—And It’s Getting WeirdUrban wildlife is basically going feral! Squirrels, raccoons, even manatees are ditching their old stomping grounds and adapting to city life—think eating our leftovers, getting more aggressive, and even changing migration routes. It’s not just quirky animal behavior; it’s a big red flag about how much we’ve messed with nature. Scientists say we need to rethink how cities work with wildlife, not just push them out. Would you share your city with wild boars or dolphins? #UrbanWildlife #CityLife #NatureMatters #WildlifeWednesday #EcoNews #Science60Share
