Pls s/s. We must protect our wildlife, and precious lands, plus our laws, because if we do not, noone will. We need you to speak up, and save 29 protected species. Protected means what? Nothing? Law is law, and to build this hwy, and bulldoze precious, PROTECTED by law species, is not upholding the law.

We’re taking legal action to ensure that politicians set a course to a better future for nature! Ahead of the General Election, we’re calling on all political parties to fully set out their plans for nature. The Office for Environmental Protection says current plans won’t be enough. As one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, the next Government must scale up and speed up nature recovery action. This election offers an opportunity to #RestoreNatureNow. It's now or never.

🏡✨ As real estate professionals, we understand the importance of regulations in protecting our environment. The recent legal battle over permitting authority in Florida highlights the delicate balance between progress and conservation. Here are some key takeaways: - Federal judge's decision sets the stage for further legal proceedings. - Florida Department of Environmental Protection faces challenges with permit applications. - Florida became the third state to receive permitting authority in 2020. - The legal dispute underscores the need for prompt appellate review. - Environmental organizations and business groups are actively involved in the case. Remember, our actions today shape the future of our communities and ecosystems. Let's stay informed, engaged, and advocate for responsible development practices. #RealEstate #EnvironmentalProtection #LegalUpdate #FloridaRegulations #CommunityDevelopment #ConservationEfforts

Today, the Nature Restoration Law enters into force ! It’s a truly historic moment as the law sets legally-binding targets for Member States to restore 20% of land areas and 20% of seas by 2030, and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. Protected Areas will play an important role for the successful implementation of the new legislation. Even if the Nature Restoration Law primarily targets restoration beyond Protected Areas, till 2030 priority will be given to Natura 2000 sites. A large number of which are managed, or under the responsibility, of EUROPARC members: overlapping Protected Areas and other Protected Area managing authorities. This day follows years of advocacy and campaigning from the #RestoreNature movement to get the Nature Restoration Law across the finish line. 📽️ Watch the video recap of the campaign and let’s work together to our rivers, forests, seas, wetlands all around Europe 🦋 #RestoreNature #Biodiversity #ProtectedAreas

🎉 The Piedmont Environmental Council reports that in 2023, 6,315 acres of land in Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties were permanently protected with 52 new conservation easements. The new easements bring the total acres conserved within this region to 446,096. While these nine counties represent PEC’s primary service area, the easements reflect the partnership of landowners in this region with not only PEC, but also the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, Albemarle Conservation Easement Authority, Clarke County Conservation Easement Authority, Land Trust of Virginia and other land trusts and conservation agencies.
