We stand with @BeaverTrust: it's in everyone's interests to get a clear policy on wild beaver releases in England! On rewilding sites beavers have brought amazing benefits from flood mgmt to more biodiversity - but families are outgrowing enclosures. (1/2) theguardian.com/environment/…

Environmentalists, listen up. A review of the National Curriculum for England is underway. It has HUGE implications. Short 🧵 1/7

AMOC are the four most important letters in my life. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists are predicting its collapse. That means the UK would cool by an average of 10°C and Norway by 15°C. A new ice age. As much as half of the world’s viable area for growing corn and wheat could dry out. Even if we truly understood even a little of what is at stake, we would be spending days unable to speak - traumatised by horror and terror. And then we would know what we are going to be doing for the rest of our lives. Doing whatever it takes to stop this from happening.

"Nature can't act. But we can" Time to act #RestoreNatureNow

An important closing address from Chris. Thank you to everyone who turned out and supported. Today we sent one clear message to all politicians - RESTORE NATURE NOW!!! @ChrisGPackham | #RestoreNatureNow

Meanwhile away from the  lichen at #Stonehenge. That mouthpiece for the vandals @thetimes tells us the whole of Sicily is turning to desert. How ridiculous. "Crops are dying, farm animals face slaughter and bed and breakfasts with no water are turning away tourists in Sicily as a brutal heatwave follows weeks of drought." “With no hay there is no feed for animals, and as wells run dry there is no water for them, so farmers are slaughtering their livestock because they cannot keep them alive. Even crops like olives, almonds and prickly pears, which do not need much water, are suffering. The problem is it hasn’t rained for months.” thetimes.com/world/europe/ar….

The programme is here! 🤩 From the re-wilding to the war on want - the meditation to the music - the bird song to the big sing - the the programme is broad and wide, and we can't wait for you to come and soak it all in! This Saturday Park Lane to Parliament Square. Noon onwards. #RestoreNatureNow

This is a huge deal - regular working people are finally realizing we’re in a climate emergency and refusing to go along with the fossil death wish of the sociopathic bankers and execs and judges and politicians still in power

We have a depressed collective because we’re not told how important it is to paint, write, and make things. Without creativity humans go into survival mode.

Why I’m no longer going to Iceland on my honeymoon👇🏻🐋 It’s easy to feel powerless against the barbaric practice of whaling. So, I’m doing what is within my power and boycotting Iceland (& Japan & Norway) for as long as they continue commercial whaling. bbc.com/news/articles/c2ll8d…

Tune into @BBCSpringwatch Tonight! Catch a special episode on BBC Two at 8 PM, featuring @argatyredkites and some of the beavers we've translocated onto their farm. Discover how beavers contribute to Argaty's goal of nurturing nature while producing food sustainably.

AMOC collapse is the asteroid on course to wipe out our civilisation & kill pretty much everyone. It will impact within decades, maybe as early as next year. And most people have no idea, thanks to a politics & media owned by the fossil fuelled psychopaths sending it our way.

The more you tell the simple truth on this issue the more people switch off and dismiss it as hysteria. But this is really happening. The future simply is not what 99.9% of the public thinks it is right now. The insanity of our lack of reaction cannot be overstated.

"...a sponge of water that's ready to rehydrate the stream system if you get a drought...to soak up water if you've got a scalding rain event." Beautiful description of the hydrology of beaver lodges & the "shadow river underneath the river" by @theleilaphilip

The results are in. On Tuesday I asked you if water companies should be renationalised or kept private. 7,619 of you voted with an gigantic 98.8% saying they should be taken back into public ownership. The people have spoken.

My cousin’s rehab took in an abandoned baby beaver and this is a PSA that beavers are, officially, the cutest baby animals:
