A very exciting encounter seeing this beautiful barn owl with its prey flying through the reed beds while on winter bird surveys!

There'd be worldwide outcry if the global economy dropped by 68%. We need the same level of urgency for the world's wildlife.

The River Otter beavers can stay! Good decision by @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland. Well done @DevonWildlife @ClintonDevon and local community. Beavers remain endangered on 🇬🇧Red List and will remain so until we connect up the small fragmented populations. @Mammal_Society

[Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 @YorksWildlife]

A wake-up call for #wildlife #conservation in Britain. Our long-awaited Red List for mammals is published today by @DefraGovUK @NaturalEngland @nature_scot @NatResWales @Mammal_Society. Carrying on with 'business as usual' is not an option. @IUCNRedList

BBCBreakfast: “11 of our 47 native species being classified as threatened imminently” The first official Red List for British Mammals highlights species most at risk of national extinction 🦔⤵️

What is this fresh hell?

[Rob Stoneman @RobStoneman]

Imagine a rewilded Yorkshire - our unburnt hills home to wild horse, wild cattle and European bison. The blanket bogs re-covered in Sphagnum. Our lowland river-valleys full of cranes, white storks maybe even Pelican. It is all possible.

Such exciting news! #rewilding #reintroduce
