Rewilding Me

Let's see what support there is against fox hunting on twitter. Follow @Keeptheban_ and RT this post if you stand against hunting.

More disastrous news from China after their dugong and giant paddlefish were also recently declared extinct. The tip of the iceberg given how few species are monitored. thetimes.co.uk/article/china-…

This week, I've been recording the audiobook version of my forthcoming book, The Lost Rainforests of Britain: featuring Welsh wizards, tree lungwort, rewilded commons, zombie sheep, and my Gollum impression! You can pre-order it (and the hardback) here: amazon.co.uk/Lost-Rainfores…

Proponents of pheasant shooting will say there is no evidence to suggest an impact on reptile populations. Well, that's changed. birdguides.com/articles/mass-…

Rees-Mogg’s comments about cancelling paid holidays are making our production of A Christmas Carol at the RSC even more relevant than it already is. Quite staggering.

The right to dissent is never more important than at times of patriotic fervour.

Have had some days away from twitter as it was all getting too depressing. Just popped in for a quickie, to find that nothing has changed...🤦‍♀️😢

Exactly....

Just terrifying.

That layer of high surface albedo ice at the top of the globe is starting to look precariously small. Remember if it depletes it’s the equivalent of 25 years worth of emissions or ~1 trillion tonnes of CO2 emissions. Measures to mitigate against this loss are urgent.

The good news is that almost 18000 people have RTd my pinned tweet, to indicate they oppose NHS privatisation. The bad news is that in order to follow each person I now have to scroll through thousands of names 🤣. Pls RT this if you oppose NHS privatisation! Let’s start again!💙

@TonyJuniper @friends_earth And TV gardener Geoff Hamilton was campaigning about it in the 1980s...🤦‍♀️

@MBRoberts4004 @ACJSissons If there were a bigger sign to ditch fossil fuels and get properly serious about renewable energy, I can't imagine what it would be
