Before (2021) & after (2022) dogs in a #pond. Huge disturbance by just a few dogs on a regular basis absolutely destroys ponds. Please keep your dogs out of ponds. @PondRiverStream

New study from Germany shows that insects on the nature reserves which showed a 76% decline in insect biomass over 26 years are contaminated with a cocktails of pesticides. V worrying for the whole concept of conserving nature on 'island' nature reserves

#Fieldwork now complete, it would be rude not to take a celebratory photo (especially after the year delay)! We’ve loved our time at @CarrifranWild. The university labs definitely won’t be as beautiful a work environment as this was 🪲🌳 #biodiversity #restoration @BordersForest

[Daisy Smith @daisyhsmith]

This photo really highlights the botanic diversity of Carrifran compared to the opposite valley, with its bare sides and conifer plantation! 🌳

After a delay of a year (thanks Covid...) it was so good to have finally made it up to Scotland to start our research at the lovely @CarrifranWild! Now to the task of IDing all our invertebrates 🪲🐜🦗

[Eva Freegard @EvaFreegard]

First weekend of #fieldwork for our masters project at @CarrifranWild and Black Hope proved a great success (even the weather was kind to us) 🌳 The long process of #insect ID is next on the agenda 🪲🪰🐜 #Entomology #research #conservation #biodiversity
