England’s most important nature sites are being failed.❌
Protected sites can and should be driving nature’s recovery.

No more statements of condemnation. No more “keeping dialogue open” to allow trickles of aid deliveries. No more complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide. We call on every government in the world to urgently suspend trade and sanction Israel NOW.

One of the most urgent crises in the criminal justice system is that allegations of rape and serious sexual offending take five years to reach trial.
