Having served two full terms at Chair of @NaturalEngland, I’m delighted to say I will be staying for a third term. I’m looking forward to working with everyone in driving greater ambitions for Nature’s recovery in England.
It’s not easy, but it is vital

In the news again today are calls to row back on the UK’s zero carbon policy, on the grounds it costs too much.
No it doesn’t, it’s an absolute bargain, compared with trying to pay for the consequences of failing to decarbonise.
Also many jobs to gain.

Visited @BloomsburyBooks, where I was delighted to sign the first copy of ‘Just Earth’, followed by 300 more, which will
now be distributed to independent book stores. Should you be inclined to order a copy on-line, then perhaps best to avoid a certain massive global corporation.

The new theme that Nature blocks ‘growth’ marks a lurch backwards of decades. At this time very important to remember that the failing health our life support system will lead to economic disaster. This paper for e.g. says Nature is worth more than GDP

When I published these two 12 & 10 years ago, it did seem the penny had finally dropped as to how economics depended on healthy Nature, & that the days of ‘get rid of the green crap’ & ‘the anti-growth coalition’ were behind us. Looks like new editions might be needed…

The Land Use Framework will ensure we make the most of our land by protecting Britain’s food security, restoring our natural world and building the homes we desperately need.

Have your say on how we use land in England in the future -what’s the best balance between food production, development and restoring nature?

We welcome the Land Use Framework.
As a society, we can and must take a more strategic view of how we use land to deliver the Government's legal targets to halt and reverse nature decline, while enabling the food, new homes and infrastructure England needs.

Wonderful to see the work of Wash Wader Research Group, ringing & data gathering from 330 Oystercatchers netted this morning. Mostly Scandinavian birds, some over 20 years old. Vital information collected to monitor the state of The Wash & its globally important bird life.

My privilege to moderate a group of outstanding panelists at the Rewilding Futures conference in #Cambridge today, & to share some of what @NaturalEngland believes is needed to achieve Nature’s recovery. Well done @CitizenZoo for convening such a brilliant & important meeting.

“After 9 seasons of targeted deer management, young trees of Birch, Alder, Willow, Rowan and Aspen are reaching for the skies across the heath moorland and hillsides.”

It's amazing that safely adding a unique ring to this adult male Goldfinch can tell us a lot about how long it lives, where it goes, and who it hangs around with. @_BTO ringing and birds are brilliant! @Wild_Barley @chezwils

At 09.20 GMT this morning the northern hemisphere reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. From then on we will be heading towards spring, & southern hemisphere toward autumn. A spiritual moment our ancestors marked with midwinter festivals, & latterly colonised by consumerism

Today's news from @DefraGovUK of imminent ban on neonics is very welcome, and congrats to @SteveReedMP & Minister Emma Hardy MP for taking this long-overdue step
It's essential no so-called "emergency" authorisations are granted before the law changes!

Insect decline is one the most profoundly damaging trends that reflects & affects the declining health of the natural world. This step to end one cause of that is most welcome.

The IPBES Nexus assessment is out. Guess what? It finds that water & food security, Nature, health & climate change are all deeply connected to one another. We need a systems view to sort it all out (not work in silos that perpetuate suboptimal outcomes).
