A major victory for the millions of birds migrating over Lebanon! 🐦 This huge Barja trapping site is GONE. Every net, every piece of equipment confiscated. We’re submitting a case file against the landowner & continuing spot checks all season.

@LandEthics @elonmusk You and @markwilderness are the only reasons I really bother with twitter anymore - like you said, it's become a horrible place to spend any time. I'm going to swap to Bluesky. Tell Mark to as well!

"Review of gray wolf mortality 🐺across its range. Intentional killing by humans is by far the leading cause of mortality (60% ± 25%), with similar percentages of wolves killed legally (29% ± 36%) and illegally (26% ± 33%)"

Revisión sobre mortalidad de lobo gris 🐺 en toda su área de distribución. La intencionada por el hombre es por mucho la principal causa de mortalidad (60% ± 25%), con % similares de lobos matados legalmente (29% ± 36%) e ilegalmente (26% ± 33%). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ma…

@LandEthics Ugh. That article made me feel a bit nauseous. 'Projects in national parks and river catchments are finding new income streams in carbon credits, biodiversity offsets and “nutrient neutrality” schemes' 🤮

Today marks the Wilderness Act’s 61st anniversary. This essay was written by Wilderness Watch’s Katie Bilodeau on last year’s 60th anniversary and the message remains as important as ever. Read it here >>> wildernesswatch.org/please-no-diam…

What the fuck has the UK become? This is totalitarianism. Utterly deplorable.
The Free Speech Union@SpeechUnion

When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested. His ‘crime’? Three gender-critical tweets. As Graham says in his Substack: “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer”. Graham’s single bail condition is that he does not go on X. We do not believe Graham’s arrest or the bail conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all the way in his fight against these preposterous allegations and the disproportionate response from the police.

Should White-tailed eagles be reintroduced to Cumbria? Research by the Cumbrian White-Tailed Eagle Project shows Cumbria holds suitable habitat for the bird of prey – now it’s time to hear from you. smartsurvey.co.uk/s/CWTEquestion…

@AlBuHarg @JrWitts @MoorlandAssoc No acknowledgement from the vested interests that keeping land in this state of arrested development might not be the best idea anymore. Time for forward thinking - it's not the Victorian era anymore.

@LandEthics @FieldsportsJrnl That perfectly illustrates the blinkered arrogance of these people. They behave and say thing which incline you to believe that they've never visited anywhere else on earth.

@FieldsportsJrnl "Show pony"? George Wynn-Darley once told me grouse moor management was "the world's most successful conservation project". On asking how he came to this conclusion he just said "because I think it is". #science

The 'show pony' of conservation We join Lord James Percy on a rocky outcrop of a typical keepered upland moor, as he scans the landscape through his binoculars. Is this a charred moor, devoid of all life other than red grouse- or something else entirely?

@CABS_REPORTS @YpenGr I've not seen or heard a single turtle dove here in Suffolk this year. The cruelty and downright selfishness of these hunters is mind boggling.

@markwilderness I hate they way they use 'invasion' to describe natural succession. It seems to me a deliberate use of language to justify their management practices. It works too - pretty much any 'conservation work party' is involved in 'scrub bashing'. Woodland is the enemy it seems.

Heathland is a very flammable landscape - native deciduous woodland is not. Here are the statutory Management Principles for the heathland of the NYM SSSI. These uplands of the SSSI are not allowed to turn into the natural landscape cover of deciduous woodland

Two weeks of choking on smoke from moorland fires ~9 miles away from me. The reason why is our national protected area system that fetishizes cultural landscapes & demands they are held in stasis against natural processes. Here is the habitat map of NYM SSSI - endless heathland🧵
