You never know what you're going to see on a dive, which makes lovely interactions like this, with a #hawksbill and #torpedoray even more special. #EBE2020 #scubadiving #Egypt #wildlife #turtle #coralreefs #conservation #protect

What a shot!

Our last seminar was by Dr Scarponi on the effect of stress on sharks after being caught as bycatch. Fishing methods need to be change and improved NOW, to reduce the deaths of theses wonderful creatures! #2020EBE #conservation #bycatch #shark #stress

@DamienFarine 's research into Great Tits showed how once one bird in a population learnt how to crack the puzzle and be rewarded with a grub, news would spread following the social network ties and form a local tradition within the population. #2020EBE #zoology #greattit #social

@DamienFarine has shown that you don't need to have a big brain to live in complex societies #2020EBE #conservation #animalbehaviour #society #learning #zoology #bigbrain

@BethBees introduced how the heathland conservation project are employing 'Behaviour Change' to try and reach dog-walkers more successfully at the importance of keeping their dogs on their leads/ to paths! #2020EBE @sdnpa #conservation #Management https://t.co/Z4WnpC6O2X

Signs, they're everywhere! Telling us what to do it, where to put it, where not be, to keep off the grass! We see so many signs that now we are more likely to simply ignore it! This is not handy for conservation areas such as #heathlands. #sign #signblindness #2020EBE #conserve

@danni_barratt_ Congratulations Danni 🙂

[Izzy Duggan @DugganIzzy]

It also showcases just how connected human society is with every species, a little too much in some cases. Hopefully celebrating images such as these will also spread #EnvironmentalAwareness , celebrate success stories and make people question certain traditions #Think #2020EBE

Awaiting @GeorgeMonbiot 's new book! It's a topic that will be headlining the news more and more as our actions promote climate change, invasive species, land-use change etc. and affect the agricultural industry #rethink #farming #agriculture #conservation #2020EBE

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

My column today is the last I'm writing this year. I'm spending the next month scaling the mountain of research for my book about how to feed the world without devouring the planet. I've read 2,000 papers so far. Many more still to come.
Exhausting, scary but also fascinating.

[Izzy Duggan @DugganIzzy]

Just read an excellent article by @calflyn for the @guardian on rewilding wolves in Scotland. https://t.co/sgK6HuFLvd Wolves would be roaming Scottish woodlands now, if we weren't separated from Europe perhaps?

#Lockdown winter walks are so important. Get outdoors, stretch your legs and explore any natural spaces that surround you, this will benefit both your physical and mental health. #appreciate #outdoors #nature #getoutside #stretch #walk #2020EBE #MentalHealthAwareness #COVID19

@josephinemcc_ All of them 🥰

[Miranda S @MirandaStibora]

A deal has been made to demolish 4/6 dams along the Klamath River (U.S).

The dam has had a significant negative impact on local fish populations and the communities they support. Lets hope this will see the return of them!

Walking 20km this winter with some friends (socially distanced of course) for Shelter! Shelter provides support for anyone facing homelessness, which at the start of the pandemic was happening every 4 minutes! Any size donation would be hugely appreciated!

Sounds like our government really has it's prioritises straight.....NOT #foodpolicy #Brexit #guardian #rethink

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This statement is bone-chilling.
The government “is not responsible for the supply of food and drink to the population in an emergency”.
What the hell is government for, if not for this?
