Anti-racism and environmental protections are closely linked. Many on the far right deny that fossil fuels are the key drivers of climate catastrophe. Nottingham Stand Up To Racism supports the ethos of green sustainability.

Shocking footage, captured by a covert RSPB camera, shows gamekeeper Russell Mason brutally killing a Goshawk in a crow cage trap in Perthshire.   After pleading guilty, today he was given a 200-hour Community Payback Order for killing the Goshawk and fined £890 for firearm offences.

A Sunny Escape: An April Afternoon in Woodthorpe Grange Park
There is a specific kind of magic that happens in Nottingham when the first "real" heat of the year hits in April. The city sheds its winter coat with a collective sigh of relief, and nowhere feels this transformation more vibrantly than Woodthorpe Grange Park.Walking into the park today felt less like a stroll and more like an immersion into a living, breathing postcard.

You can support 28 voluntary/charity groups, 22 small green businesses/crafters, 15 vegan caterers/food stalls and a whole host of activity providers, musicians and more at today's free, family friendly event See #AltText Before you join us check out the Live Map. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...
A statement from Nottingham Green Festival:

Due to a policy change by our insurers, that we weren't informed of until now, we have had to let go of some of our planned stallholders.

This is because they won't provide the one day cover needed to any stalls promoting "political, religious or cultural issues". If we were to include these stalls, the insurance we've paid for the entire event would be invalid and we would not be covered at all. As you can imagine this isn't a risk we can take.

We considered cancelling the event, but we didn't want to let down the wonderful caterers, artists and other stall holders who've been working so hard and investing money into the event. So, we will be going ahead, but not as planned; we're doing a bit of last minute rebranding and today's event will now be known as a Nottingham Green Fair.

Please enjoy the amazing local entertainment, goods, and vegan food stalls here today. We will not let this dampen our spirits!

We are still in touch with the stallholders who were unfortunately turned away and we sincerely hope to be able to host an event with them again. Keep an eye on our social media for more information regarding this very difficult decision.

Plastic pollution talks fail as negotiators in Geneva reject draft treaties
Countries deadlocked on whether legally binding deal should include curbs on production and toxic chemicals Once again negotiators will leave the plastic summit this week without a treaty, having failed to reach agreement in what was supposed to have been the final round of talks. The delegates, who were attempting to complete a crucial treaty to end the plastic pollution crisis remain deadlocked over whether it should reduce exponential growth of plastic production and put global, legally binding controls on toxic chemicals used to make plastics.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
