How can beavers influence bat behaviour?

Two new studies across England and Wales reveal an astonishing increase in bat activity in beaver wetlands โ€“ thanks to how beavers shape habitats for both bats and their insect prey.

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? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฆค

The best outcomes for nature are almost guaranteed when hunting and fishing community, farming community and conservation organisations work in partnership. ๐ŸŒ

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. Theyโ€™re lying | ... The agreement on fossil fuel phase-out is full of loopholes, but those of us fighting for climate justice wonโ€™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...
