Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction.

We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s.

We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third.

And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

Not a Harebell but a Nettle-leaved Bellflower (Campanula trachelium) growing in a shady spot in our garden with one of our smallest bees - a Small Scissor Bee (Chelostoma campanularum) which is strongly associated with Harebells and other bellflowers. #WildflowerHour
