I’m moving! This is the 50th move in my 62 years of living. (Not counting the thousands of nights I’ve spent camping when I’ve created a home wherever I’ve pitched my tent). This will be this last time I throw my belongings into cardboard boxes. I’ve found the home where my roots will dig deep and grip tightly. I envy those who have lived a settled life, in a community and place they’ve known all their lives. However, I value the experiences I’ve enjoyed in the many locations in the UK and Africa I’ve been fortunate to call home.
Isle of Skye - here I come!

Recent weeks show our reliance on cars, but cycling can help. Most 2024 journeys were under 5 miles, ideal for cycling. Swapping short car trips saves £, pollution & fossil fuel use. Safer roads matter, which is why backing #MyRideOurRight helps everyone.

Last year, when the U.S. administration terminated the first-ever National Nature Assessment, the team behind it refused to let the work disappear.
Director Phil Levin and the entire author team — all volunteers — reorganized, built a new secretariat and advisory committee, spent months persuading foundations to fund the effort, then got back to work.
This week, the result is here! The new Nature Record has just been submitted to the National Academy of Sciences for formal review -- and it's been opened for public comment, so you can read it too: naturerecord.org
The report meticulously documents the many ways humans have degraded nature — on land, in lakes and rivers, in coastal wetlands, and in the ocean.
But what I love most is that the report starts with a “Bright Spots” chapter. It highlights real-life successes, the conditions that helped them happen, and how treating each other with greater equity and justice can also benefit nature.
Why does this chapter matter so much? Because social science research shows something important: while doom and gloom may get the most clicks and shares online, focusing only on the negative (without any positive information about solutions) can leave people feeling overwhelmed and powerless. When we pair the risks with information about solutions that work, people feel a greater sense of efficacy — and efficacy is what motivates us to act.
Not only that, but when it comes to nature, there are so many solutions that work (and the report talks about them, too!). Restoring ecosystems can strengthen food systems, improve our physical and mental health, protect communities from floods, storms, and heat, support biodiversity, and even help draw carbon out of the atmosphere.
Nature-based solutions are powerful. And the more we share stories of what’s working, the more we can build momentum for the work still ahead.

The government said swift bricks can’t be mandated hoping we’re dumb. Scotland has proved England is talking tosh. Tell the govt they’re toothless guidance is not enough by emailing PlanningPolicyConsultation@communities.gov.uk 🪶Thankyou @markruskell for your leadership

So delighted for the swifts and for @WriterHannahBT 😍😍😍😍
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens
🚨 It's official! Swift nesting bricks have passed the Scottish Parliament and will now become law. Swifts are in serious decline across the UK. This will help reverse that trend and make our communities more liveable for birds. @markruskell and @WriterHannahBT explain 👇
