Excellent article on the importance of carrion in rewilding. If we truly care about biodiversity then we should care about this. Sky burials might be a step too far for some though! (although not the first request for it!) Baby steps... Thanks @sebdunnett for the link!

With Return To Nature also at the intersection of death and climate, it is so inspiring to see climate anxiety learning from death cafes buff.ly/3tcQInq
Are fungi intelligent? Recent research is finding that they respond to their environment, remember situations and cooperate as a distributed mass. Sounds pretty intelligent...! buff.ly/38CTuJl
From whales to monkeys, elephants and even fruit flies, researchers say they are starting to understand animal culture just ā€˜as it disappears before our eyesā€™ theguardian.com/environment/ā€¦
Evidence suggests that sheep casualties would be relatively small. Sheep in Europe mostly graze in open pasture where lynxes do not generally hunt. Switzerland is home to about 300 lynxes, which kill between 20-50 sheep/year, yet ~12500 roe deer & chamois. buff.ly/3xNt1D2
Excellent article from @guardianeco on the debate to reintroduce lynx. theguardian.com/environment/ā€¦
The public support the rewilding of the Queen's Balmoral Estate. We support this too, as it would set an example for other landowners to aspire to. If you agree, check out @wildcardrewild's fantastic campaign to call on our largest landowners to rewild thetimes.co.uk/article/publiā€¦

The magpie is instantly recognisable to most children due to the story and song we ascribe to it. What other stories and songs could we tell about other animals to better connect children with the nature around us? sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/nā€¦

Really loving these wee dives into folklore and stories from Charlotte Owen around the everyday birds that inhabit the land around us. Always loved the mighty wee wren! sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/nā€¦
To rewild our land, we must first rewild ourselves as the treatment of our land is a result of our disconnect from the planetary life support systems that provide us with air, water, food, beauty and more. positive.news/society/educatā€¦

What does it mean to rewild a person? Start with their education

A community of teachers believes that reconnecting children to nature is key to improving the education system and rewilding humanity

We all know that language can limit us, but the omission of fungi from the term 'flora and fauna' has had the unintended consequences of reduced legal protections for fungi. Time to expand our definition to #FloraFaunaFunga! undark.org/2021/08/09/flora-ā€¦
Great to see the success of @LeicsWildlife Rutland Osprey Project with the 200th recorded osprey chick hatched! šŸŽ‰šŸ£ 25 years ago, osprey were extinct in England and Wales. With the right leadership and cooperation we can bring back lost species! wildlifetrusts.org/news/200tā€¦

All the diversity of these ledges could alongside the relatively few heavy-browsing-tolerant species that we currently see in the Scottish uplands, alongside mountain birch, juniper scrub & alpine meadows. We just need to change our ways. Will we? #ThinkLikeAMountain #SBPNextGen
