A long weekend of slow work digging up regrowth from old stumps and seedlings while getting stung by bees and drenched in the odd downpour at our first site in Corr Uí Mhongáin..... mostly done here but some giant rhubarb will eventually need seeing to

Episode cover for Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science 163 - a smallish female wolf.

You will read a lot of posts today (and over the coming days) about the EU proposal to lower the protection status of wolves. Unfortunately, most of them, coming from both sides are half-truths and quarter-truths. Want to have a full picture? 🌍🦤

Just Stop Oil activist jailed for six months for taking part in slow march Stephen Gingell, 57, thought to be first to receive prison sentence under new Public Order Act

With scarcely a voice being raised against it, we are sliding into a police state, in which an entirely peaceful protester, trying to prevent a societal catastrophe, can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the road.

Rich countries are desperate to convince us their hollow Cop28 deal is a triumph. They’re lying | ... The agreement on fossil fuel phase-out is full of loopholes, but those of us fighting for climate justice won’t give up, says Asad Rehman of War on Want

Asad Rehman is damn right about this. It's all spin and lies. I'm amazed anyone has fallen for it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
