"Labour has launched a galling attack on nature."

Appears @BenGoldsmith
are in total agreement, again.

Well said sir. 👏👏👏
Labour has launched a galling attack on nature
Already, hundreds of millions of pounds of investment have been poured into efforts to create nature gains in the country.

Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith Republican efforts to extinguish the last remaining bison (currently at 0.1% of their former numbers) are truly a crime against America. You literally could not make it up. How any American stands by this is beyond comprehension. Shame on @GovGianforte

This one, sans background, done for @instbirdpop.bsky.social in 2018. It's all over this weekend apparently on an image of birds that went extinct in 2023. I assume all of the images on that post are uncredited, and I'm having a hard time tracking down who created it. twitter.com/BenGoldsmith...

This is what 330 hectares of Spruce plantation looks like, on the SW slopes of Warblaw. We are fighting a proposal to plant another 300 hectares of conifers on the other side of this small hill.

This attack on @zackpolanski.bsky.social by Reform reject Ben Goldsmith is utterly vile.

ZP’s family changed their name to Paulden to avoid antisemitism after fleeing Eastern Europe.

Every day people like Goldsmith show us who they really are.
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) by a verified account named Ben Goldsmith (@BenGoldsmith). The post reads: “My late uncle Teddy Goldsmith was among the first @TheGreenParty candidates. I wonder how many former and current Green supporters out there are feeling as revolted as I am to see what was the only party of the environment ditching all that to cash in on rising sectarianism and virulent antisemitism in Britain? The Greens, led by the ultimate ‘as-a-Jew I can confirm it’s fine to do in the Jews’ @ZackPolanski (real name David Paulden), look increasingly like the new Blackshirts, organising door-knocking sessions to make lists of Jews and their friends. Depressing af.” The interface shows it was last edited at 8:17 AM on Feb 20, 2026, with about 33.7K views.

His tweets were a thing to behold…

But he funds a huge amount of charities and they actively enable him to be more prominent than he should be.
Look for Conservation collective or Devon environmental foundation in almost any ‘nature’ charity funding and you’ll see them.
A screenshot from June 25 of Ben goldsmiths tweets on x disgusting stuff @@BenGoldsmith-30/06/2025 Replying to@piersmorgan Without diminishing the horrors of this war, if Israel wanted to eradicate Palestinians from Gaza they could have done so in the first week. The reason for the IDF sending brave soldiers into one dangerous tunnel after the next (mostly built beneath schools and hospitals), and into booby-trapped buildings, as well as sending clear warnings before every strike, has been to "minimise" civilian casualties. Militaries the world over will study for a long time how the IDF managed to achieve such low civilian to combatant casualties in such circumstances, with the other side deliberately using a strategy of human sacrifice. US-led coalition forces killed tens of thousands of civilians rooting ISIS out of Raqqa and Mosul. Nobody accused them of genocide. The term has been debased utterly, and the Palestinian people have been done no favours by such absurd accusations relating to Gaza. @BenGoldsmith • 29/06/2025 Replying to@piersmorgan You think Israel is seeking the complete eradication of the people of Gaza? Seriously? @BenGoldsmith•14/06/2025 Replying to @zain8130 @RedFing75194897 and @CouncillorJamal/ If the place had been carpet bombed, hundreds of thousands of civilians would be dead. As it happens, and while every civilian death is a tragedy, the ratio of combatants to civilians killed in Gaza is the lowest ever recorded in urban warfare, miraculously low even, given Show more @BenGoldsmith • 13/06/2025 Replying to @CouncillorJamal No, Hamas placed Palestinian civilians in harm's way as a deliberate A screenshot of a disgusting tweet by Ben from x in 2024 saying - It is a tragedy the UK doesn't have a real Green party. The UK and most European 'Greens' are hard Leftists with no real interest in the natural environment. Just look at their posts and their deeds, it's all promotion of open borders, trans ideology, anti Israel fanaticism etc. A screenshot from the Devon environmental foundations website showing Ben goldsmith as founder.

It is the duty of each generation to reforge traditions that are inhumane and unjust. We welcome everyone. We do not tolerate bigotry, and we stand in solidarity with all oppressed peoples. We recognise the complexity of the issue. We know that reaching a half-wilded country will take time, but believe it's essential to aim big and to start now. We want a just transition.

Oh, I do wonder how such a (very rich) man has managed to position himself as a king of conservation?

Ffs

Environmental charities have to clean up their act. Giving him any kind of voice or power at all is just disgusting.
A screenshot from the charities register of the accounts of Ben goldsmiths charity. Devon alone has 13 named charities that received funds plus an unknown number of smaller donations.

@BenGoldsmith given 100 countries now support protecting 30% of the planet for nature, you might be interested in these maps. First thinking just about Europe as a whole, the second a county-by-country approach. Its a laudable target, but as every its a question of where?
