Speakers, musicians, activists, families and dogs gathered around Westminster for a 4-day event raising awareness about climate change and biodiversity loss. The event was organised by Extinction Rebellion, with over 200 organisations supporting and attending the movement. A contagious sea of laughter, smiles, music and colour spread across the city as people flocked to the capital to take part in the action. <br /> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Christian Emmerson https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/christian-emmerson/big-one UK Government’s deregulation agenda is dangerous: for the good of future generations, we must retain existing laws and enhance nature protection instead https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/thewildlifetrusts/uk-governments-deregulation-agenda-dangerous-good-future-generations-we-must We face an urgent nature and climate crisis. The situation is dire, with more than one in ten species in England on the brink of extinction and the UK amongst the most nature-depleted countries in the world. To tackle this, we urgently need a coherent plan for nature’s recovery on land and at sea.

The buzz of insects, wildflowers brightening up green spaces and the birdsong outside my window, were an essential source of delight and inspiration at a time of unprecedented coronavirus crisis.

Extreme weather events are on the increase and the impacts of a warming climate are becoming evident on our beloved wildlife, with some UK species being pushed to the furthest limits of their natural ranges. To tackle a crisis of this scale, it is imperative every tool in the box is used, and this includes the natural solutions offered by our planet.
