I post this every year at this time, in the hopes it may save some gentle trusting little animal's life. Please read Milo's story in the thread🧵below. Please spread this information as far as you can. The more people who see it, the more lives are saved. teapawt.net/HedgehogCabin/status/1…
1. In February 2019 a little hedgehog called Milo woke early from hibernation. Healthy, but weak and desperate for food he lived on whatever he could find, which was spillage from under a bird feeder. On 11th March he was found out in the frost, crippled, both front legs broken.

Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please make a commitment for next year. If you have wildflowers on verges and in public spaces, don't poison them or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for insects like bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝

Thank you for your level headed comments throughout. teapawt.net/implausibleblog/status…

The phone is still ringing all day long. Folk reporting hedgehogs seen out in the day. Most casualties are just babies. And every single one is suffering from sickness caused from starvation. The callers are shocked. They think hedgehogs love slugs, which are plentiful. They don't. Slugs carry deadly lungworm. Hedgehogs eat beetles and caterpillars. There are none about now so healthy full grown hedgehogs hibernate. Those not able to reach that happy state will struggle on, desperately searching for something to eat, and eventually die of starvation or parasite invasion if they are not lucky enough to find a kind garden that provides food. A dish of dry kitten biscuits will make the difference between life and death. Please be that difference.

Ghosts are scary … but stats about plastic pollution are SCARIER. 👻 11 MILLION metric tons of plastics enter our ocean from land-based sources every year. That adds up to more than a garbage truck’s worth of plastic ... every MINUTE. 😳 #Halloween2023 ow.ly/Luli50Q2eLV

Here is a great example of conservation in action. If this much can be achieved on a small island in less than a decade, we’ve got no excuse👇🏝️ Our government is failing us… Redonda: Tiny Caribbean island’s transformation to wildlife haven bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-a… – at Rochford, East

Great article. The cost of living crisis is having wide-reaching effects. Sustainability and positive action aren't taking precedence when people are worried about paying the bills. #Costofliving #Sustainability #ClimateAction

After recent events in #Plymouth, I can’t actually believe this! There’s still time to help save 1000(!) trees and and an ANCIENT ORCHARD in #Cambridge. @CambsCC want to build a new bus road through these valuable habitats! Less than ONE WEEK LEFT. Please help @BonkersBusway👇
In less than a week, on the 21st March @CambsCC will vote on whether to DESTROY its largest traditional orchard. A HABITAT OF PRINCIPAL IMPORTANCE, a 1000 trees, for a £200m tarmac road for buses. A loss @greatercambs claim can be “lessened to non-significant” in 30 years by “mitigation”, it cannot. Media, shine a light on those who have a vote so that we, and the generations behind us, who will have to pay for their decision, can bear witness 🌳🚌❌🐝 #TippingPoint #Ecocide #ClimateCrisis #Biodiversity Loss #CostOfLivingCrisis 🖊 change.org/p/save-the-green-… teapawt.net/unbiodiversity/s…
