As I come to the end of my internship with @The_RayProject I’m competing a “Squats 4 Skates”fundraiser. I’m 700 squats in with 300 to go! Any donations to support would be greatly appreciated-> pay-payzone.easypaymentsplus.com/fundraising/ca…

On this #WorldWildlifeDay, we celebrate a truly momentous occasion. The IBSG welcomes today’s Government announcement that they intend to provide legal protection to basking sharks in Irish waters by listing them on the Wildlife Act. A quick thread (1/n): gov.ie/en/press-relea…
