Prof Dame @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social, a signatory to the letter, says: “Taking a strategic approach to recovering nature in the context of other priorities is important, but this Bill is far too vague about how this would be done. Nature is not an obstacle to prosperity, it underpins it”.

@ejmilnergulland.bsky.social is spot on. MPs must pause Part III of the Planning Bill—consult widely—and align it with the spirit and substance of the Environment Act and #CANBill. Housing’s urgent—but it doesn’t need to happen at #nature’s expense. Nature isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s all we have.

🚨 Planning and Infrastructure Bill: Pause Part III 🚨

It risks harming nature, slowing developers, and hiking costs.

Right now, it’s a ‘lose, lose’ for the economy and the environment.

It needs consultation, assessment, and piloting to secure a ‘win, win’ for all.

👇 Watch why!

1️⃣ Refrain: avoid negative impacts on nature as far as possible.

2️⃣ Reduce: minimise damage to nature where it cannot be completely avoided.

3️⃣ Restore: remediate any immediate damage to nature.

4️⃣ Renew: invest in revitalising nature.

Great to see this new OA paper out today conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... We provide key lessons for those seeking to use rangers to monitor #biodiversity goals in protected areas. Rangers get everywhere & collectively spend more time in PAs than any, so their data should be useful.🧪🧵
