In just 12 years, this patch of land went from housing three bird species, to over 200. Extraordinary.
For @BBC I wrote about how local knowledge helps restore important ecosystems – and the incredible speed that nature heals itself, if only we let it. bbc.com/future/article/20240…

Thanks as always to @izzygerretsen for excellent editing, and giving me the opportunity to tell such unusually positive stories about humans' relationship with the natural world 🦢

What happens when a forest has the same rights as a person? For @BBC_Future, I wrote about the legal case that saved an Ecuadorian forest from destruction, and was a landmark success in a bigger movement that's changing how we relate to the natural world. bbc.com/future/article/20240…

Watch, read, listen: An article in @AtmosMag argued that the way humans talk about nature shapes their relationship to it – and asked whether “we [should] be paying more attention to the words we use?”.

✍️I pondered my own death for @BBC_Future, to work out how to avoid poisoning the planet once I’m gone. The answer takes some digging (literally) and a new way of thinking about what ‘special’ might look like. bbc.com/future/article/20230…

There's no single right answer – but what's clear is that we need more research, more options and more everyday conversations about the things we don't like talking about

Beautifully put in @benmauk's newsletter today: "I believe that the experiences of daily boredom and idleness, and the obverse states of focus and mindfulness, are critically endangered psychic species." We are overly stimulated, stressed, entertained – and suffering for it

It’s easy to forget there was a time before hustle culture and rampant individualism. My latest for @HUCKmagazine is about a 1980s zine that put a middle finger up to the emergence of neoliberalism - writing it was somehow cathartic, hope reading it is too huckmag.com/article/chris-ca…

In 1981 Chris Carlsson co-founded ‘Processed World’ – a radical zine that foresaw the dystopian direction society was headed in. He talks to @beccawarner about its impact, his hopes for the future, and how stupid most jobs are.

“She has made mushroom music and drawn the structures underpinning life itself. But her relationship to the non-human world is perhaps no more powerfully represented than in her latest creation: a book written in the language of trees.” @beccawarner imagine5.com/articles/the-la…

TNT’s members are geographically dispersed across the US, Europe and Australia. Their goal is to publicly challenge climate disinformation so that others don’t take it at face value.

More on migratory bird tracking in my article about the brilliant @_BTO scientist following the extraordinary journey of the cuckoo @worldofTOPIA worldoftopia.com/tracking-th…

This is the migration of birds in Europe traced by GPS. It reminds us of just how interconnected our world really is.

Excellent thread on the behind the scenes of this week’s landmark IPCC report. A stark (and scary) reminder that climate is a political game, with oh so many players
22 Mar 2023
the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

For @HUCKmagazine I wrote about the outspoken and endlessly patient souls battling climate disinformation here on Twitter. They’re stemming a terrifying tide.
