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.

I am mystified. What is this lady doing in the middle of the picture? Sharpening her pencil? Making a brew? Turning a wheel to start a garden fountain? #regency
