Wee call for information to support my work looking at the wild boar in Perthshire and Angus please RT #wildboar #boar https://t.co/0W1ZRbzz1c

[UCL News @uclnews]

UCL Anthropology student @GODonnell_ is studying a colony of wild boars, thriving in the Scottish countryside, and would like to speak to farmers and local residents to understand more about these hairy foragers. https://t.co/NoCOcULTsZ

The loss of wildlife is reducing the capacity of forests to fight climate change @NatureComms https://t.co/vAGalPfGLn

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@JamieWClarke Think its combination of the City of london police who are often over-zealous plus going for the financial targets which are probably less "tolerable". Hopefully not but didnt bode well

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@JamieWClarke Lots of very confrontational policing at bank today, separating families with young kids, very agressive with the public trying to see what was going on

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Special thanks to @emiwoodhouse for all of your help, couldn't have done it without you!

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Graduated from @UCLanthropology today. Thanks for teaching me to speak truth to power and to continue to learn from those we have the least in common

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Watching the coverage of extinction rebellion, the climate protest movement is stuck in the same inertia as politics. Usual suspects, usual tactics, usual messages...

@AJCorner @kalahar1 @L_messling @ClimateOutreach Levs will never be outdated mate

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@AJCorner @kalahar1 @L_messling @ClimateOutreach Always come from a position of honesty eh?

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@kalahar1 @L_messling @ClimateOutreach There's only one way of life and that's yours own Chris. Embrace it bruv

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Delighted to be leaving @UCLanthropology MSc Anthropology, Environment and Development with a distinction. Enormous thanks to @emiwoodhouse for all of your help, support and supervision #rewilding #beavers

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@DanielSalliss 🐝🐝🐝🐝rewilding's coming home

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@DanielSalliss Very exciting stuff here. The trial based approach is particularly interesting given that my work in Scotland highlighted the popularity of manager beaver trials involving mitigation testing. Hope it's on the horizon there

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Of course the boar was not an official reintroduction, but strong chance people's tolerances are already low. Just seen very similar on Tayside

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

This is one to watch closely. The forest of Dean has seen many conflicts over the wild boar, this will have to be managed carefully or we could see issues spill over to the beavers too https://t.co/KrroBLSWgi

[Gemchain @gemchaindotapp]

Never thought I'd see the day, but 33 years on from when I was first consulted on the potential for #Beaver release in southern Britain, I will tomorrow witness the Secretary of State for the Environment @michaelgove releasing Beavers into a large enclosure in the #ForestofDean

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

Massive well done @DanielSalliss having seen the hours spent on R I know you deserve this! https://t.co/Dpyb7ClGEM

[Daniel Salliss @DanielSalliss]

Thrilled to have work from my Master's dissertation published in a paper on #CropRaiding in @Golarainforest. 1st time my name's been on a paper! Thanks to @MarkFHulme & @FionaJSanderson for the opportunity to get involved. @RSPBScience @UEAResearch Link: https://t.co/HghGfH8FN0

Just watched a nesting osprey. Day made and it's not even 10 o'clock

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

@drmoogy @emiwoodhouse @UCLanthropology Hi Eric could you give me a follow and I'll DM you?

[Wolf Conservation Center 🐺 @nywolforg]

Sound Shore Coyote Project + the Wolf Conservation Center are excited to offer a FREE coyote information session for Mamaroneck-area residents tomorrow - May 30th with Dan Bogan, Ph.D! #Westchester @MamaroneckHH

[Gavin O'Donnell @GODonnell_]

This is so important. Not only recognising that farmers and conservationists approach these issues from different value sets but building bridges between them is vital to delivering effective and equitable conservation and rewilding frameworks https://t.co/RCi1EUn4Ti

“I wonder if we recognise the tens of thousands of farmers in our own country as indigenous experts” https://t.co/mjbcwb6fHJ My call for better dialogue
