Wild Card
@wildcard
We’re a grassroots campaign group of ordinary people, campaigners and experts. Britain’s nature is in crisis. We're calling on the UK’s largest landowners to rewild!
Wild Card envisions a world where humans and nature work together. To achieve this, we’re pushing for the UK’s landowners to rewild their land. Sign up to our mailing list to join the cause! wildcard.land/support/sign... 4/4
We are stronger together. Landowners have a duty to those who use their land and - chances are - that’s you! Talk to your neighbours, your friends and your representatives. Sow seeds (literally and metaphorically) in your local communities that grow into powerful movements for change. 3/4
The motion for 30by30 was blocked by a watered down amendment backed by the Bishops. As both spiritual leader and a Church Commissioner, Archbishop Sarah Mullally, can change this. Use this link to send her an email actionnetwork.org/letters/arch... 2/4
BREAKING: The Church of England makes landmark commitment to... business as usual? 🤔 This comes at the same time that the Church announces new teachings for the "mass extinction crisis". The Church of England can talk the talk, but clearly they can't walk the (nature) walk. #SynodVoteForNature
The @churchofengland.org are one of the biggest institutional landowners in the UK. Next week, they'll vote on a motion to commit 30% of that land to nature by 2030. Let's make sure it passes! ✊ Write your message here: actionnetwork.org/forms/synod-... #SynodVoteForNature #Rewilding
This Tuesday the @archbishopofcanterbury.org and the members of the @churchofengland.org’s internal parliament, The General Synod, have a massive choice to make that will affect all of us. Will they restore 30% of their land to nature by 2030? #SynodVoteForNature @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
#SynodVoteForNature 🐝🌈🌳🌷 Next week the Church of England, one of the UK's largest landowners, will debate a motion to restore 30% of their land for nature by 2030. You can make history by writing to the Church, urging them to pass the motion! Add your message here: buff.ly/2zlXm8e
On the 14th July, @churchofengland.org's core decision-making body, the General Synod, will vote on a motion to restore nature on 30% of their land by 2030. Write a message to General Synod members in your Diocese to ask them to support this historic motion: buff.ly/LUZoag0 #SynodVoteForNature
What is the Nature's Rights Bill? 🤔 Tomorrow @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social will be presenting the second reading of a bill which could grant our natural ecosystems, like forests, legal rights. ⚖️ Endorse the bill at www.natures-rights.org/uk-bill #RightsOfNature #NatureRestoration #Rewilding

🦫 Researchers at the @universityofleeds.bsky.social have demonstrated that beavers released on the North York Moors have greatly benefitted the landscape by preventing flooding and boosting biodiversity.
⛰️ DEFRA has announced £47 million to fund peatland restoration projects in the UK, recognising the vital role peat plays in capturing carbon and protecting our ecosystems.
Happy #RewildingRoundup !!! 🦋🦫🌷🌱🐞 It's been a minute since we did one of these, and I think we all need some good news right now. 🎓 The government has finally announced plans for a Natural History GCSE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to empower young people to protect the natural world.
