Sycamore Gap pair guilty of chopping down tree in Northumberland Prosecutors say the pair thought it was

Everyday there are mindless attacks on our environment & our biodiversity. Living things are loved, but those without celebrity status don't get the protection they deserve.

In the oval office, when he accused Zelensky of playing with WW3, you just knew he was describing himself again.

Climate Inaction Could Cost 1/3 Of Global GDP This Century, BCG Warns The Big 3 consulting firm finds that most harms come from productivity losses, but also reveals how nations could avoid 90% of climate damage.

๐ŸšจNEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

Very welcome news. Understanding land ownership is critical to understanding wealth & power, especially during climate crisis.

14 #blackbirds in the garden, only 2 females. What's that about @btobirds.bsky.social
One of the males is wearing a metal ring, & has only just got his full yellow beak, therefore I assume he is a first winter scandi boy. First noticed him about a month ago, will see when he leaves. #gardenbirds

Would that show in an urban v rural split in the data?

I also wonder about wormer effect on soil health. Is there any research on that?

Roses are red, violets are blue.
There are skippety sheep by the A149,
Near Worstead that make cloth so fine.

Hedgerows: the skill of balancing growth with need As autumnal cutting starts debates arise over timing and technique. Is flailing harming wildlife and hedgerow health, or providing care?

As you travel around enjoying the sun and snowdrops, you may notice the many very manicured hedgerows. Sadly this is the way to weaken & kill them.
Its time landowners, farmers & councils cut 1 in 3 years - side, side, top.
Good for hedge & nature .

Get outdoors this spring and help Woodland Trust monitor nature ๐Ÿ”

They're looking for song thrushes, frogspawn, & blackthorn flowers๐ŸŒธ

By recording natureโ€™s vital signs, we can help keep our planet healthy for wildlife & people๐ŸŒ

A year into rules to ensure developers create more space for nature than is lost, itโ€™s not yet meeting goals for wildlife๐ŸŒณ

Biodiversity Net Gain is full of potential. But we need to plug the holes.

Our planning system needs to be #WilderByDesign๐Ÿก

I agree, and especially when you see the rear view, it's one-sided. I wonder if it is like cat coat colour where position in uterus can influence which genes are switched on. Probably not as it might happen more often, & usually eggs get turned evenly
