When you approach this species it starts barking... That's right, Codonorchis lessonii, the dog orchid, unfortunately not known for barking, but a beautiful orchid native to the Patagonian forests. A solitary plant, I don't think it gets along with the other dogs.

Natural ecosystems transfer over 13 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year (equal to more than one-third of global emissions from fossil fuels) to mycorrhizal fungi, locking it away underground.

Rewilding is climate action too.

No city centre street should have this much space for cars. Dublin City Council is drawing up plans to make more space for people on these urban highways. Amiens Street has to be included.

I’m convinced that most people want to help nature thrive & have no idea that some common gardening methods are harmful to wildlife. I’ve created a poster to illustrate the benefits of long grass habitat. Using weedkiller can seriously damage wildlife. #nomow #nomowmay #organic

The last known female of the entire species of Yangtze giant softshell turtle (Rafetus swinhoei) the largest freshwater turtle species in the world, has died.

I’ve had enough of improper use of herbicides. 2 years ago this hedge bank was amazing and then it got sprayed.

The #SpringEquinox on 20 March is the astronomical start of #Spring - 17:24 EDT, 21:24 GMT. #Equinox means ‘equal night’ & at this moment day & night are almost equal in length, but from now on the days will grow longer as the light half of the year unfolds. #MythologyMonday

One of those things that's so logical, practical & easy (like solar panels above strip mall parking lots in the American Southwest) that the fact that it's not being done makes you question the collective intellect of the society you live in.

If you see a cactus like this - with a fake plastic flower glued to it - know that the ethical thing to do is steal it.

What's the best gardening tip you've ever given or received? 🌱

@DuncanWestbury @NaturalEngland @DefraNature @WorcsWT Hey! I work in a garden centre in Ireland and would love to know more about this issue so I can advise correctly, are there any resources I can look at or anything you can tell me?
