Some starlings live here year-round, but many migrate here during the winter months from as far away as Russia, Finland and Estonia 🌍 Ireland hosts hundreds of thousands of Starlings each winter, and every evening, they group together and perform mesmerising murmurations... 1/3

"Babies in the neonatal intensive care unit which MAP has supported over many years are beginning to die from lack of oxygen." How can this ever be justified? This has to stop! #CeasefireInGazaNOW #Accountability for #WarCrimes

The ICU of Al Shifa hospital has been bombed. Staff have been shot at and wounded. Power has gone, staff are having to hand ventilate patients, and babies in neonatal ICU are starting to die from lack of oxygen. Israel's war on hospitals must end. map.org.uk/news/archive/p…

🚨 ADOPTED!!! The Nature Restoration Law has been adopted by the European Parliament. This is fantastic news for #nature.

WE DID IT! We won the battle to save our biodiversity and our climate. This fight for #NatureRestorationLaw shows that everyone who believes in a future for nature is connected, organised & not giving up lightly. Together, we'll keep on mobilising to protect climate & nature.

“The #NatureRestoration Law will just lead to more protected areas!” “It will negatively impact Europe’s food security and threaten farmers’ livelihoods!” We understand these concerns - but they are simply wrong. Allow us to clarify how it really works! A thread 👇🧵
