Extinction is data loss. Amid all the hype surrounding AI, let's not forget that the most valuable dataset is biological, not digital. "We are losing the libraries before we have read their books." @IUCN @MongabayOrg #biodiversity #TNFD

@BBCSounds I have downloaded a Prom from July 2025 to my phone, and really want to keep it - but it says it is only available for the next couple of days. Is there some way I can keep a copy, or access it again in the future? Thank you for your advice!

“We need to align our laws with the laws of nature” - great to hear @MFeriaTinta speak this morning at the Rights of Nature symposium #LondonClimateActionWeek . Thanks for organising an excellent event @TheGreenAmanda

Just been to see the new David Attenborough film “Ocean.” It’s brilliant; powerful, urgent, awe-inspiring and alarming. Most importantly, it ends with clear hope. Go and see it.

Brilliant, brilliant evening listening to @RobGMacfarlane who is my new superhero, talking about his book Is A River Alive. Great interviewing also by @HoratioClare

Really important contribution with today’s announcements on housing. This is not difficult (or expensive) to fix. @WildJustice_org @WildlifeTrusts

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

NEW report from us @WildJustice_org today – #LostNature – which details how housing developers are failing wildlife across the board on every measure . 🧵

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

This Government must make the polluters pay , and of course if they fail in that endeavour , next time we’ll be back in a wave of brown , not blue 💩

If I’m intolerant of climate denial, racism or genocide, does that now make me an extremist???

Well worth a read for some positive perspectives on #decarbonisation

** An alarm call for us all **

The official nature watchdog, @OfficeforEP, says that "government is largely off track" to meet legally-binding nature targets.

That's true for 8/10 targets, including the overarching goal of halting nature's decline by 2030.
