The news I can finally share, although I can still barely believe it - honoured to have made the Wainwright Prize shortlist alongside books of such calibre!

2 boys aged aged 11 and 12 designed a webpage to say why they couldn’t lose their favourite place: Penrhos nature reserve , so they chose to run 20 miles in April their initial target to raise was £100 , their friend Bertie joined them and caught up the miles, they decided to increase their target to 26 miles and on Sunday 3rd May 2 boys aged 11 and 1 aged 12 will finish their marathon ran to #SavePenrhos Let’s get the boys to their 🎯 by Sunday they need £692 to get there ! The boys and why they chose to run 26 miles ! Link to fundraiser ⬇️ gofund.me/cae1cf50b 📸Vicki Louise ,David Jones ,Roger Blease

when the trees are gone & the water is no longer clean & our natural resources are depleted & they’re trying to sell us bottled air like the fucking lorax, when nature becomes a luxury & the bees disappear and the food supply dwindles, at least you owned the libs, am I right?!

RT @cdtwriter: I can't find the words to describe the Forest Service demise. We are on a precipice, and the last thing we need is more slas…

Knowing the importance of the Forest Service in the USA, this is sickening. Trump’s presidency is a 4-year tsunami that will leave ecological and social annihilation in its wake

Poachers in #Lebanon are exploiting the current security vacuum to target migrating birds. Our team found this freshly shot Great-white Pelican in addition to 13 shot White Storks. Despite precarious conditions, our patrols are deterring hunters just by being present.

Reminder to all in the Bristol area/surrounding environs that I'll be talking about the future of #WildBoar in Britain at the gorgeous Watercress Farm/Belmont Estate next Wednesday evening! Tickets here 👉 belmont.estate/events/

I am delighted to see the UK’s second free-roaming bison project underway 🦬 A huge team effort to get here—despite significant regulatory barriers. We need to make it simpler and more affordable to scale projects like this. Much more to do. Onwards. #Rewilding #NatureRecovery

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about how the new @louistheroux documentary has made people think about attitudes to women. Lots of MPs jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, no disrespect to Louis - I’m grateful for the highlight - but for God’s sake… Women get killed by their partner every week. Tiny Man Tate has been a thing for years. Domestic violence shelters are overwhelmed. Women have been waving the red flags about incels and attitudes for years. We’ve been begging for change. We’ve been highlighting the serious threat of anti-women social media. Then a MAN makes a documentary and suddenly everyone’s interested? Do you not all think that this might be part of the problem?

Wild garlic isn’t just for cooking. It’s a quiet powerhouse of our woodland ecosystems! 🌱❤️

Had a great time interviewing the eminently quotable Paul - champion of the bees!

It is quite strange to live in one of Europe’s largest wetlands and then worry that it is wet. With climate change, there is no economic feasible way that the Somerset Levels can be maintained in its 20th century state. No amount of river dredging or new pumps is going to stop a wetland metres below sea level in one of the wettest parts of the UK from being wet. We should decide to give the Marshes of Avalon back to nature gracefully: rehoming and compensating those affected, rather than being forced to do so in the wake of repeated tragedies. Let’s make these rare, precious & irreplaceable wetlands wet again.

In Beauty of the Beasts, Jo Wimpenny challenges our fears and biases toward nature’s 'least loved' animals – revealing their intelligence, ecological importance, and misunderstood behaviours. A must‑read for wildlife lovers! Available to pre-order now. @CSLyons

That is the least that should happen People need to know that you cannot do this Roadside trees near me have been hacked down indescriminantly recently, using the excuse that they are diseased ash trees (many aren't) and/or dangerous (most aren't) theguardian.com/environment/…

About five times as much land in England that is generating power from solar grows maize for electricity generation in anaerobic digesters. Carbon is being lost from soils under maize & much less electricity is being produced per acre compared with solar. I’d say solar IS better.

Reminder: right now—on Xmas Eve—tens of thousands of delivery drivers are peeing in bottles to meet brutal quotas for one of the most powerful corporations in the world, so the rest of us can get boxes of stuff that’s shittier than ever and only seems cheap because the same corporation crushed competitors and algorithms manipulate its prices. It doesn’t need to be this way. None of this is inevitable.

This is utterly pathetic - and goes to show how insecure and worried Trump is about reality. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp39…

I can’t begin to tell you how upsetting and disheartening it is to recover a tag that we had fitted to a young White-tailed Eagle just a few months previously, and which had clearly been cut off the bird. This happened twice this autumn and a third bird is also missing.

What. The. Actual.

AMAZING NEWS!!! (This is NOT the final result BUT)…the SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT JUST PASSED SWIFT BRICKS THROUGH TO THE NEXT PHASE. The SNP government did not but THE OTHER PARTIES STOOD UNITED AND SHOWED ENGLAND HOW ITS DONE. SCOTLAND YOU BEAUTY! Thank you ⁦@markruskell⁩ !

At Chaparri Bear Reserve in Peru (bonus trip while out here for work). Their habituated peccaries take belly rubs therefore we must assume wild boar would also enjoy them
