It’s been 6 months since the report on Coul Links went to ministers for them to decide its fate.
Many thousands of people have spoken out to protect this unique and beautiful place from the irreparable damage the proposed golf development would do. 🦆🪰 🦋
Today we sent a letter to ministers 👇
“Nature is profoundly intelligent. When we live in harmony with nature, it's abundant & resilient," said Her Majesty Queen Mary of Denmark at #UNEA7.
UNEP Executive Director met with the Queen, UNEP Patron of Biodiversity, reaffirming a shared commitment for a future living in harmony with nature.
There’s still time to #SaveCoulLinks.
A year ago, we gave evidence about the irreparable damage a golf course would do to this incredible place.
Its fate is in the hands of Scottish Ministers. Nearly 18,000 of you have asked them to stand up for nature.
'Nature-based solutions offer a pathway to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector. But implementing them needs the right policies, incentives, and political leadership.'
🚨BILLBOARD MESSAGE DEMANDS MSPS ACT NOW TO SAVE NATURE 🚨
A pair of billboards appeared on Edinburgh’s busy Market Street today with an urgent message for Scotland’s MSPs.
With 1 in 9 species in Scotland at risk of extinction, MSPs must act now!

Thank you for sharing! I worked on the EAB project for a while with the US Dept of Agriculture and this paper really highlights how the public can aid in earlier detection and also the hard work of researchers and forest services do to keep up with invasives.
The concept of ancient invasions aligns with the view (which I've had since I was a grad student) that invasions are defined by evolutionary context.
Like extinctions & climate change, invasions occurred long before humans, though humans are now driving these phenomenon.

#rainforests of the world
As part of @asrainforest.bsky.social we were pleased with Scottish Government progress on restoring Scotland’s rainforest in 2024. Now we need clarity on how the extra £5m for Scotland's rainforest in the 2025-26 budget will be spent, and recommitment to restoration ahead of #SP26.
Another Monday, another opportunity to throw myself into my passion for nature!
If you'd like to try your hand at identifying the lichens of #ScotlandsRainforest, including Norwegian specklebelly, check out the guides from @plantlifeuk.bsky.social on our website!
We’d all love for climate science to be apolitical. But it’s not—and can’t be.
This book explains why. Eye-opening and highly recommended!
