@Team4nature300

The ‘team for nature‘ team (@team4nature300 on Twitter) is worth keeping an eye on.  They have a big social media presence but a very low real life profile.

They have also been very helpful in promoting our e-petition on banning driven grouse shooting through Twitter and thunderclaps. I know a little about them – but not that much.  But what I know, I like, and respect.  One of their number is someone I speak to on the phone now and again, and have met face-to-face just three times as I recall.  He, for it is a he, is an interesting guy who reacted well to me saying that I wasn’t sure whether he was a genius or a nutter.

The Team for Nature team have helped many good environmental causes and I usually add my Twitter weight to things they do – almost always.

One of their current causes is this one – #NatureOnTheNews – and there is a thunderclap you could join if you agree with it (I think you will, and I do (so I have)). You only have until 8pm to join but if you do you will be swelling a social media reach of 12.5m. Yes, twelve and a half million people will be reached by this thunderclap (at least in theory).

There aren’t many UK wildlife NGOs who could do that. I’m not sure whether any have done so – have they?  And that’s what this lot have to offer to any environmental good cause.  The team for nature have significant social media clout and clout that surpasses that of many wildlife NGOs. They don’t have all the other clout that many of our best NGOs have, but they do have social media clout. I’m a little surprised that they aren’t being courted by others more than they are.

Keep an eye on them if you are on Twitter. Follow them. And maybe add your voice to theirs.
