  • Environmentalists urge Reeves to rethink plans for airports and roads

    Critics say chancellor’s ‘growth at all costs’ plans are not compatible with UK’s climate targets

    Rachel Reeves has been accused by environmental experts of putting the climate at risk with high carbon projects including the expansion of Heathrow airport.

    The chancellor made airports the central focus of her plan for growth, despite having previously promised to be the first green chancellor and having extolled the benefits of green growth.

  • Study of more than 600 animal and plant species finds genetic diversity has declined globally

    Analysis by dozens of scientists internationally notes urgent conservation efforts could halt or even reverse losses

    Genetic diversity in animals and plants has declined globally over the past three decades, an analysis of more than 600 species has found.

    The research, published in the journal Nature, found declines in two-thirds of the populations studied, but noted that urgent conservation efforts could halt or even reverse genetic diversity losses.

  • Just one in 10 English streets and parks litter-free, report says

    During a decade-long project, researchers found that only nine in every 100 places were completely free of rubbish

    A wide-ranging survey of streets and parks around England has found that just one in 10 was litter-free, according to a new report.

    Between 2013 and 2024 researchers at Keep Britain Tidy walked 1,140 miles across a multitude of landscapes including rural villages, housing estates, parks and city centres to assess the amount of litter gathered on English streets.

  • Thousands of trees planted in Devon to start creation of Celtic rainforest

    More than 2,500 native trees have been planted to form a temperate rainforest in decades to come

    The first step towards creating a Celtic rainforest – a now extremely rare habitat that once covered large swathes of the west coast of Britain – has been completed in Devon.

    More than 2,500 native trees have been planted so far this winter at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, above the Dart valley and close to the green-minded market town of Totnes.

  • Sixteen jailed UK climate activists to appeal against ‘unduly harsh’ sentences

    Protesters will gather outside court of appeal in support of activists, who say judges defied decades of precedent

    Sixteen environmental activists jailed in the past year will appear at the high court on Wednesday to ask England’s most senior judge to quash their “unduly harsh” sentences.

    The appellants, from four separate cases, will appear before a bench of judges led by Lady Carr, the Lady Chief Justice, in a full session of the court of appeal in which they will argue that judges defied decades of precedent to hand them long jail terms for nonviolent protests.

  • Country diary: Nobody loses in the robin game | Josie George

    Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: We go out to see how long it takes until a robin comes close – really close. Thanks to their genetic memory, we don’t wait long

    If I could get away with sleeping through January, I would. I envy the hedgehogs tucked up in their hibernacula; the bats in their secret winter places; the dormice in their cleverly woven, sealed nests; the ladybirds nestled in window frames. Hibernation seems like a very good idea. It doesn’t help that it’s that cold, flat sort of winter day, easy to turn away from. My partner fancies a walk, but I’m not keen.

    “We could play the robin game?” he tempts. The robin game is simple: go for a walk then see how long it takes for a robin to find you and put on a show. Not just a glimpse, but a full, brash encounter. It’s a good time of year to play: in winter, our resident robins are joined by swells of their Scandinavian relatives, all of them bold and curious and unafraid of humans, their genetic memory whispering that big mammals often excavate worms. They first followed the snuffling boars of UK forests; now they follow gardeners, walkers, us.

  • Green transition should benefit ordinary Londoners, says deputy mayor

    Mete Coban, 32, says climate policy will bring ‘social, economic and racial justice’ to deprived communities

    Working-class people and those from ethnic minorities will benefit most from a range of environmental policies being implemented in London, the capital’s deputy mayor has said.

    Mete Coban, 32, grew up in a council flat in the borough of Hackney and saw for himself the difficulties the lack of green space, poor or overcrowded housing and polluted air can cause.

  • Can communities living side by side with wildlife beat Africa’s national parks at conservation?

    Across the continent, millions of hectares of land are being used and run by local people coexisting with wildlife in spaces where both can thrive

    • Photographs by Nicoló Lanfranchi

    Africa’s first national park was created 100 years ago by the Belgian colonial state in the Congo, and since then hundreds more have been developed – but in many areas there is more wildlife in protected areas run by local people.

    Tens of millions of hectares across the continent are home to community-run “conservancies”, managed by herders, farmers and hunter-gatherers, who coexist with herds of large animals such as elephants, giraffes and buffalo.

    The Nashulai conservancy in southern Kenya. The country now has more than 230 community-run reserves covering 16% of the country. Conservancies have helped wildlife recover while benefiting local people

  • Sandeels vs the EU: how the puffin’s favourite food sparked first post-Brexit courtroom trade battle

    This week the EU will argue the UK’s ban on catching the tiny fish, celebrated by conservationists, amounts to discrimination against Danish fishers

    “We did it!” These were the words uttered by the RSPB last year when, after 25 years of campaigning, the UK government banned fishing for sandeels in the North Sea and Scotland. The small eel-like fish might not seem a likely species to inspire a decades-long fight – but they are the treasured food of one of Britain’s rarest and most threatened seabirds, the puffin, as well as many other UK seabirds and marine species.

    The celebrations, however, were short-lived. The EU threw its weight behind Denmark – the country with by far the biggest sandeel fishing fleet – and challenged the ban, meaning that this week, the humble sandeel will become the focus of the first courtroom trade battle between the UK and the EU since Brexit.

  • ‘Rare and threatened’: the bid to save Grampian flowers after fire disasters

    Royal Botanic Gardens scientists are heading to the Victorian national park in search of plant survivors amid the charred landscape

    The Grampians globe-pea, a critically endangered wiry shrub, had finished flowering and was fruiting when fires tore through its home in the Grampians national park, in western Victoria. The spiny plant with vibrant orange and yellow flowers is extremely rare and restricted to a handful of sites, including areas within the 76,000 hectares that burned over December and January.

    Finding the globe-pea will be a priority when a plant rescue mission led by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria heads to the Grampians to search for survivors and signs of life amid the charred landscape.
