“At its root, rewilding is an ecocentric approach.” another wonderful @inkcapjournal essay full of provocations and tensions within rewilding! https://t.co/VfjMO5DSOm

The race is on to save Britain’s disappearing moorland bogs: for wildlife, reduce flooding and capture carbon. https://t.co/Qgb5xESARw

Great to see this research that demonstrates yet another benefit of restoring natural processes: large herbivores reduce the risk of wildfires https://t.co/h5mAjIXFa3

Western Australia bans native forest logging. Bold move! Considering the trauma that Australia has faced through wildfires, it is hardly surprising though https://t.co/0h7JaDdxXN

Excellent article on the importance of carrion in rewilding. If we truly care about biodiversity then we should care about this. Sky burials might be a step too far for some though! (although not the first request for it!) Baby steps... Thanks @sebdunnett for the link!

With Return To Nature also at the intersection of death and climate, it is so inspiring to see climate anxiety learning from death cafes https://t.co/gK18so2bSZ

Are fungi intelligent? Recent research is finding that they respond to their environment, remember situations and cooperate as a distributed mass. Sounds pretty intelligent...! https://t.co/YbujM02YrL

From whales to monkeys, elephants and even fruit flies, researchers say they are starting to understand animal culture just ‘as it disappears before our eyes’ https://t.co/hrZmIaNAJW

Evidence suggests that sheep casualties would be relatively small. Sheep in Europe mostly graze in open pasture where lynxes do not generally hunt.
Switzerland is home to about 300 lynxes, which kill between 20-50 sheep/year, yet ~12500 roe deer & chamois. https://t.co/bsQOrKhXBu

Excellent article from @guardianeco on the debate to reintroduce lynx. https://t.co/sxdr7uNSDj

The public support the rewilding of the Queen's Balmoral Estate. We support this too, as it would set an example for other landowners to aspire to. If you agree, check out @wildcardrewild's fantastic campaign to call on our largest landowners to rewild https://t.co/4pX0fsAAo6

The magpie is instantly recognisable to most children due to the story and song we ascribe to it. What other stories and songs could we tell about other animals to better connect children with the nature around us?

Really loving these wee dives into folklore and stories from Charlotte Owen around the everyday birds that inhabit the land around us. Always loved the mighty wee wren! https://t.co/vuWeabbujb

To rewild our land, we must first rewild ourselves as the treatment of our land is a result of our disconnect from the planetary life support systems that provide us with air, water, food, beauty and more. https://t.co/JylnvUojFW

We all know that language can limit us, but the omission of fungi from the term 'flora and fauna' has had the unintended consequences of reduced legal protections for fungi. Time to expand our definition to #FloraFaunaFunga! https://t.co/sVgPZmLjBp

Great to see the success of @LeicsWildlife Rutland Osprey Project with the 200th recorded osprey chick hatched! 🎉🐣 25 years ago, osprey were extinct in England and Wales. With the right leadership and cooperation we can bring back lost species! https://t.co/hNWT5ADqRi

All the diversity of these ledges could alongside the relatively few heavy-browsing-tolerant species that we currently see in the Scottish uplands, alongside mountain birch, juniper scrub & alpine meadows. We just need to change our ways. Will we?
