As humans continue to radically alter the environment, new species assemblages are emerging - 'novel ecosystems'

Our @BritishEcolSoc Niche article about novel ecosystems explores what they are, how they could be helpful in a changing world, and concerns

Great start to #bigchalk conference. Reminder of Lawton principles from man himself (don’t over analyse, just do it’ 👍🙏) & great field trips on chalk grassland mgt with @Natures_Voice & @nationaltrust - Stone Curlew thrown in 🎉 speaking tomorrow on landscape scale surveying 👍

[Bruce Winney @BruceWinney]

@JMBecologist We do need more links with academics, which is one of the reasons we were very pleased you could come and talk at the first Big Chalk conference. We also need to involve more farmers and land managers, and reach out to diversify the partners we work with...

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

Giving 2 invited conference talks next week - on chalk downland & on lowland heaths

Let’s hear it for open habitats!

Amazing numbers in London all demanding we #RestoreNatureNow @RNNMarch

Hopefully these questions might help understand who has a credible plan for halting the decline of wildlife by 2030 and who doesn't.

What nature & climate questions will you ask?

North Wessex Downs National Landscape team secured £1.5m from the Government’s Species Survival Fund to restore and enhance a range of important habitats for a diversity of species across seven sites, making the landscape a better place for nature. https://t.co/SdquGPKmDJ

[Bruce Winney @BruceWinney]

Another blog from me looking into what the numbers mean. This time for the Protected Landscape Targets and Outcomes Framework...

[National Landscapes Association @NatLandAssoc]

Government recently published new targets for Protected Landscapes on nature recovery. The targets are admirably ambitious, but delivery will rely on resourcing and enforcement of new duties. https://t.co/fCNkqNUiVK Pics: Simon Smith
