Friends of the River Wye

Yesterday we were honoured to meet with three female leaders of the Guarani, Indigenous Peoples from the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

The meeting took place by the Wye in Monmouth and was organised by @size_of_wales.

A glimpse of our Monday. We travelled from the Wye Valley to Westminster to lobby our MPs and ask them to challenge the government’s proposed Poultry Growth Strategy. This plan is being dreamed up (nightmared up 🧟‍♂️) by Defra and the Big Chicken lobby without community engagement

“It’s a plan for Big Chicken, written by Big Chicken, with government support. This is a recipe for disaster.”

New piece from @philip_ciwf takes aim at the government’s ‘poultry growth strategy’.

Chance to hear from our brilliant co-chair Nicola Cutcher on making the most of our wild and precious lives. On turning grief and despair into action on behalf of the living world.

Nicola will be giving the James Roose-Evans Memorial Lecture on Oct 10th:

🐔 Who is shaping the government’s poultry strategy?

Defra says it wants to remove “barriers to growth” for the poultry sector.

But when Big Chicken has a seat at the table, whose interests are actually being put first??
