WWT’s departure from X
From Thursday 1 May, WWT will no longer post on any official charity accounts on Elon Musk's social media site X (formerly Twitter).
Over the past few months, we have seen a steady loss of followers and engagement with our content. At the same time, under Elon Musk’s ownership, we have seen a rise in negative and abusive commentary, hate speech and misinformation.
We’ve been mulling over whether to leave X for a while, but there have been recent developments that have given us the final nudge.
WWT is a values-led charity, and we speak up boldly for those values, especially during challenging times. We are innovative, proactive, inspiring, collaborative and progressive – and what’s happening on X right now clearly shows us that it's time to move on.
Social media continues to help us reach you with important news about our conservation work. You can still help us in our mission to restore and protect wetlands by following us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube.
