Colorado has already reintroduced lynx & wolves & is now proposing to reintroduce another carnivore, the wolverine. It's definitely time we got lynx back in Scotland and also started preparing for a later reintroduction of wolves - we need apex predators!

What happens when a 200 year old oak tree takes the Secretary of State for Climate and Ecological Breakdown to court?

Lucy Neal shares her experience of staging a play to imagine a future in which a Rights of Nature court case takes place.

Can’t just be me feeling it: any urgency on climate change in architecture&construction has faded away ? We’re back to wonder concretes as solutions, pre-Covid routine awards, exhibitions & non-response/general apathy whilst the earth burns 🫠

Why do so many politicians forget that there is no society, no economy, no humanity on a dead planet. Climate stability & biodiversity is essential to everything. To everyone.

Important read on the trend toward liberal antiracism (with similar parallels in feminism, environmentalism, etc) that is fixated with individual behavior and outcomes while ignoring the systemic infrastructures of oppression and harm, let alone considering their dismantlement

[Alana Bloom @AlanaBloom]

When did you wake up to the scale of the climate and ecological emergency? What happened? What changed for you? What person did you become when you truly faced into the possibilities of a future world ravaged because of our actions?

[Alana Bloom @AlanaBloom]

Does anyone feel like the uk is an episode of black mirror? Corrupt government, polluted waterways, austerity, increasing poverty gap... no wonder people aren't focused on the climate crisis, they are just trying to survive the tories!

@HugoSAS Restoring keystone species like kelp (that also sequester carbon) / reducing the chemicals and pollution entering aquatic ecosystems / protect existing coral reefs, fish nurseries - agree all our ecosystems are connected but there are specific things we can do for marine life

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

What's happening to Antarctic sea ice extent isn't getting enough global media attention. And by "enough" I mean none. Nothing. This ongoing and dramatic collapse is completely absent from today's news.

Yesterday's sea ice extent was 4.02σ below the 1991-2023 mean (1-in-34,000).

"It’s time to classify plastics as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutants"

“We live in the age of plastic — the Plasticene”

“We need to wake up the world and understand the risks of these pollutants”

[Rita Issa @DrRitaIssa]

I was recently challenged by a friend to be braver on the climate crisis. It's sat with me & brought up conflicted feelings.

Regardless, I think there's no harm in all of us trying to be even just 1% braver every week.

Things like this help. Courage calls to courage 👉🏽

Me watching the new season of queer eye

[Alana Bloom @AlanaBloom]

Anyone else bawling at the 1st episode of the new Queer Eye?

Those boys sharing there emotions is the most beautiful thing I've seen on television for some time.

Coming to the end of the first draft of the Introduction to Ecosystem Restoration course with @soilfoodwebscho @ERC_movement @AshleighBrown11 and @Planethealer1

12 million hectares of habitat is destroyed every year.

We desperately need to scale up Ecosystem Restoration.
