What is the gravest ecological challenge? Global heating, mass extinction, pollution? My new book, ‘Just Earth’, published by @BloomsburyBooks & which is out in March, suggests it’s actually social inequalities.

We were thrilled to welcome His Majesty The King to open the new Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve, part of The King’s series, and launch the King Charles III England Coast Path today. 🌊 These both stand as enduring commitments to protecting nature and public access.

Today we celebrate the declaration of the Seven Sisters #NationalNatureReserve (NNR). 🎉 1,500 hectares of globally rare habitats and wildlife better protected for nature and people. This marks the halfway point in the King's Series of NNRs. 25 by 2028. gov.uk/government/new…

@avellana_avers @NaturalEngland The beauty of this bit of coast is that it’s accessible by train. London to Seaford, walk the path to Eastbourne & then get the train back to London from there. A fantastic day trip from the capital.

@TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland You could have picked a more appropriate image! Why drive even more traffic & people to this overwhelmed site?

The world’s longest coastal trail is inaugurated. The King Charles III England Coast Path opens access to our entire coastline. 2700 miles of spectacular scenery, wildlife & history. Following 16 years of work, all of us @NaturalEngland are very proud. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

England’s newest National Nature Reserve is spectacular. It marks the midpoint of the 25 NNRs we will declare over five years in the King’s Series. It was so good to have His Majesty with us for this landmark moment.

@ShaneTate72 @NaturalEngland Yes that’s right. It would be a very useful resource. Could be done for all the National Trails.

@TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland I’m aware of that but thought an app would be useful, particularly if it had points of interest, places to eat/drink and visit en-route. I’m looking forward planning a few walking breaks along this route this year.

We were delighted that King Charles came to Sussex today to open the England Coast Path & to mark the declaration of the new Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@ShaneTate72 @NaturalEngland There is a website

@TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland This is fantastic! Well done guys 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 It would be great if there was an app to go with it to plan routes etc.

We are very proud @NaturalEngland to declare England’s newest National Nature Reserve - the Seven Sisters NNR in East Sussex. 1500 hectares of chalk grassland, chalk heath, woodland & more. A major multi-partner initiative for Nature recovery at scale. gov.uk/government/new…

The new Land Use Framework marks a significant step toward the more integrated approaches needed for meeting our goals for food, water, housing, Nature, carbon, climate resilience & more. At @NaturalEngland we look forward to working with our partners in making the most of it.

When I started working on UK energy in 2007, fossil fuels provided ~78% of electricity. Coal alone: 34%. Wind & solar: less than 2%. Today: wind & solar 33%, fossil fuels 28%, coal 0%. The chart below tells the story better than words can.

Dog owners on Marsden Moor are being asked to keep their animals on a lead as ground nesting bird season gets underway. The National Trust are asking everyone keep to the footpaths as some of the nation’s rarer birds like these curlews are known to build their nests in the grass

Good news alert💚 The nightjar is making a remarkable comeback in the South Downs National Park, thanks to nature recovery efforts and better habitat management! 🔗 Read the full story here: southdowns.gov.uk/mythical-goats… 📸: SDNPA

@smiffyuk @NaturalEngland In the pictures there. ‘The Profitable Farm’.

@TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland What book

A great day with @NaturalEngland colleagues learning about Maximum Sustainable Output (MSO) on a lovely historic farm in Northumberland. Farmers putting profit, sustainability & fine food together into a virtuous self-reinforcing business model. The ideas are in this book….

@DavidBurton1971 @FT I think it’s struggling more in maintaining access to distant sources of oil & gas

Fossil fuels are a system you have to keep feeding. Solar, wind & batteries are a system that keeps producing clean, renewable energy. One burns. One earns. This isn’t an energy transition… it’s a business model collapse. ⚡#Bettrification #Solar #Wind #BESS #EV #Disruption

Into the field with @naturalengland team to see how a Protected Site Strategy is recovering one of England’s most natural & cleanest rivers: the Coquet in Northumberland. Met with brilliant farmers & other partners working to restore dynamic natural processes across the catchment
