They installed machines in Türkiye to feed stray cats, and now some seagulls have learned how to meow hoping they’ll get food too 😭🐈

Britain has lost around half its hedgerows since the Second World War. The wildlife that depended on them has followed a similar trajectory. 🌿 The old field boundary — a strip of blackthorn, hawthorn, dog rose, and elder two to five metres wide between cultivated ground — was not wasted agricultural space. It was a functioning ecological system that maintained pollinators, pest predators, and farmland birds across centuries of working land. Each hedgerow is a nesting corridor for grey partridge and skylark, a foraging habitat for brown hares and hedgehogs, a site for solitary bee colonies, and a windbreak for the crops alongside it. The field cultivated to its very edge gives the maximum return this season. It removes the populations of beneficial insects, farmland birds, and small mammals on which stable long-term production depended. The field with a hedgerow yields a few percent less per cultivated hectare — but remains productive across decades without compensatory chemical inputs. The documented declines in grey partridge, lapwing, and skylark across the British agricultural landscape since the 1970s are directly linked to field consolidation and hedgerow removal. Practical equivalents for the garden or smallholding: - A strip of wildflower meadow at least one metre wide at the plot boundary - A clump of nettles in a shaded corner as a habitat base for red admiral, small tortoiseshell, and peacock butterflies - A native mixed hedge of blackthorn and hawthorn in place of post-and-wire fencing - A section of uncut grass between rows of fruit trees #HedgerowHabitat #FarmlandWildlife #NativeHedge #GardenWildlife

The Chinese applied their tricks on Trump, giving him a smaller chair than the one the Chinese president sits on! The discomfort on Trump's face is obvious, as Xi appears to be a head taller!

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Jeremy Corbyn’s balanced reflection on Andy Burnham gives us two undeniable truths: ‘Private money in health leads to less care & more profit’ ‘Private money in defence will lead to more wars & more profit’ Why are these truths so hard for politicians to see?

Haha 😄 🤣 😂 Love this #Reform

The most beautiful moment in the world ❤️ The joy of a little one seeing their mother’s face for the very first time.

Thoughts about Japan: I got stuck in Japan during the pandemic for 9 months without being able to fly back home. At the time, I was staying in a 6-floor hostel in Ryogoku, completely empty except for me. The staff slowly became my friends since I had no one else in Japan. After the third month of lockdown, my money ran out. They noticed the slow decay in my condition. I was eating half a meal a day. One day, out of nowhere, they called me down to the reception. There was a big box, surrounded by several smaller ones. The staff had told their friends and families about me, and together they gathered groceries and essentials to help me get through those difficult months. There were even handmade face masks someone had sewn because they were impossible to find in stores. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that I broke down in tears. From that day on, more than friends, we became family. Japan and its people embraced me when I was at my lowest point. It healed something in me when I needed it the most. Thank you Japan.

This Chinese guy is Trumping more than Trump

Does anyone else get sad and confused when trees get chopped down in residential areas that literally aren’t bothering anyone?

She experienced every emotion imaginable in just a few seconds.

What’s happened to these two women who disappeared in Gaza after last being seen with Israeli troops. They’re just two of hundreds of Palestinians who’ve vanished in the Strip with no credible explanation and the families desperately want answers

A piglet rescued from an industrial farm in South Africa in 2016 was put in a stall with various objects to keep her busy. She ate or destroyed every single one of them except the paintbrushes. The woman who’d rescued her, a former pro golfer named Joanne Lefson, took the hint. She taught the pig to hold a brush in her mouth and touch it to a canvas. By the time Pigcasso passed last year at 700 kilograms, her abstract paintings had been collected by George Clooney and her brushwork licensed by Swatch for a limited-edition watch called Flying Pig, which retailed at around $110. In 2018 she became the first animal in history to host her own solo art exhibition, in Cape Town. They called it OINK. One of her canvases, Wild and Free, later sold to a German collector for $25,000. Total raised for the sanctuary that took her in: over a million dollars.
