In #Arnish, #Scotland, a massive electricity transmission hub is set to harm or destroy 83% of local #biodiversity, wipe out nationally important #peatlands, and threaten #MarineLife, all in the name of "progress" (greenwashing alert!).
Peatlands are terrestrial wetland #ecosystems, one of the best natural defences against the #ClimateCrisis, yet they’re being sacrificed for industrial expansion.
Why do governments keep prioritising corporate greed over the ecosystems we all depend on?
This isn’t just a local issue, it’s a global problem. If we allow this destruction to continue, where will it stop?

The project will harm or wipe out 83% of local #biodiversity.
#Peatlands are crucial for fighting #ClimateChange, yet they are being sacrificed for #industrial expansion.
The #developers themselves are fully aware of the devastating impacts their project could unleash on the #MarineEcosystem.
The #seabed disturbance from #trenching and #turbine foundations could destroy essential #SpawningGrounds for #herring and #SandEels, further destabilising the fragile marine #FoodWeb.
@anna_lillith there is a determination to destroy the planet for resources and profit it no longer needs.
@anna_lillith This petition is being run by Big Oil fighting green generation is it?
@anna_lillith to answer your first question — because that's what governments are for. their job is to secure the wealth of the super rich.
