Scotland's nature is facing its own storm - bigger efforts are needed to help save it. SCCS member @wwfscotland.bsky.social has launched a new campaign, It's In Our Nature, calling for action to save our precious wild places and tackle climate change.

WWF Scotland @wwfscotland.bsky.social · 4d

In Scotland we’re known for braving the cold, battling the wind and pretending it’s ‘taps aff’ weather at 12°C. But there’s one thing we won’t just tough out - losing Scotland’s wild places.

It’s in our nature to act. Sign our petition and stand up for nature: www.wwf.org.uk/scotland/202... ✏️

Day 2 in #Mongolia brought energy + action. From Al Gore on Climate TRACE to panels on desertification and nomadic traditions, to youth-led projects shaping communities, the momentum grew. We ended with a sacred milk libation, blessing new Climate Reality Leaders for their journey ahead.

BREAKING 🚨: Kemi Badenoch says she’ll repeal the UK’s Climate Change Act if the Tories win.

That means scrapping carbon targets, shutting down the climate watchdog, and locking Britain into fossil fuels right as the world heats up and bills soar.

He’s here to lobby for Big Oil and pressure the UK and Scottish governments to cave into demands for more drilling.
