Biodiversity loss and climate change are not information deficit problems, and will not be solved by ever more precise data about where and how fast they are happening

Barnstorming speech by @jm0ses at today’s trespass:

“If the Bathurst Estate cannot continue to meet its obligations to the park, and there is no room in their annual accounts for its maintenance, then fine, we accept, we'll take it.

'Please, by all means, give it back.”

@ldnphile A sophisticated one!

Great to see a mention of @ArbAssociation's 'Treetime' and the current Heritage Trees Bill.

Interested in the effects of veteranisation on fungal communities? Check out our paper published in the @ArbAssociation journal.

We found communities in veteranised oak branches differed to natural dead branch communities @FungusProf @ECGilmartin

“The way we designed our legal system is that trees have no standing: they have no legal status… with no regard paid to intrinsic value as a living being or cultural or ecological amenity.” Important words from @LawForNature co-director @BrontieMaria here:https://t.co/hUelH0b8Je

It’s the film lawyers told you would never get made! After over a year in the works, my new film ‘The Great Amazon Heist’ is coming out this Thursday on @Channel4! It’s taken everything I have to make this one. So I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!

No more prison ships.

The Bibby Stockholm is a cruel, racist prison. People deserve homes and dignity, not detention.

Climate justice is migrant justice. Burn borders not the planet.

Well done @JustStop_Oil.

The outpouring of grief, sadness & anger about the felling of Sycamore Gap Tree shows the strength of love & care many British people feel for our trees. Here’s why we should change the law to give ancient & veteran trees the same protection as historic buildings & monuments 🧵

[Adam Cormack @AdamCormack_]

If the sight of this felled
ancient yew tree makes you sad/mad please sign @WoodlandTrust petition for legal protected status for our oldest and most important trees (would include many ancient yews). 64,000 signatures so far. https://t.co/56G7AMDBVQ

[Adam Cormack @AdamCormack_]

I’m not sure a law would have prevented such a wanton act of vandalism, but something is needed to better express the value of trees like this. Together with other orgs we are exploring the idea of protected/heritage tree status - similar to grade listing https://t.co/56G7AMDBVQ
