Wouldn’t the € 20 note look so much better with a #kingfisher on it? The European Central Bank is redesigning the euro notes, and asking for feedback on the themes they are choosing between! Tell them why we need birds on €s here!

⚠️🦩🚫 Your flight is cancelled. Forever. With cases in Albania, Italy, and Portugal, the latest trend across Europe seems to be that of wiping out nature to build or expand airports instead. In this day and age, you would think governments know better.

We are deep in the #BiodiversityCrisis & #ClimateCrisis . Yet if current management practises continue the EU forest carbon sink will halve by 2050. However, if restored to health, EU forests could be absorbing triple the amount of carbon dioxide they currently remove. #ForestsEU
