Why is there such little outcry over this regime in the media?

SFF will be on 4 Oct and 14 Nov & 14th November – both days in two parts: a video skills workshop to help you promote your project, and a forum for networking & discussion. Folkestone Climate Carnival will be joining in – hope to see you there!

Thank you to the brilliant @shanerecord for a magical session on the Leas - across two hours we saw a familiar scene appear on the giant board, only to be transformed as the climate was… Lots of people stopped to watch & some good conversations about acting on the climate 💚

I can’t even begin to describe what an indictment of the BBC & possibly of the studio audience & also of our civilisation itself it is that this final Prime Ministerial debate, at a moment when the world is reeling from extreme heat 🥵, has seen NO questions on climate & nature.

We were joined by Jenny from @KentWildlife along with Charlie the Hooden Chough (a twist on the Kentish folk tradition of the hooden horse) to highlight the success in building a sustainable population of red-billed choughs in Kent
