@tusk_org @KensingtonRoyal #LewaSafariMarathon

Tired today, sore legs, 35kph wind, 2 months #fundraising for @tusk_org I did not want to ride today!!

Rangers don't get to choose. They risk their lives to protect #wildlife daily.

So I rode for 3hrs and 50km for @tusk_org

@PaigeSpiranac Everyone has done it. I did it first tee in a tournament at the weekend. Topped the 2nd tee shot too. But a solid T16 at the end of 3 days. If you have never felt like giving up golf you have never really played it.

@Elizabeth_Ruler Only if you can create genuine revenue streams to compensate rural communities living with wild animals. Tourism cannot be a panacea.

@BenGoldsmith It is time for frank and honest facts. Modern agriculture is responsible for most of the biodiversity loss since 1970. Pesticide, herbicide and fertiliser use is as bad as ever. DEFRA has all the stats and the Govs own agencies state this is the case.

@ASWoodward1 BNG Net Gain should not apply where the current value of the land is between zero and 5 according to NPPF. This is a total abuse of BNG legislation. The Pleasure Gardens have been a public events space for over 100yrs.

@CarolineLucas Let us deal in facts. Modern farming caused 60% decline farmland birds. Relying on tons of pesticides & herbicides. Developers are funding mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain of 10% PLUS mitigation for Birds, Bats, Reptiles, GCN, Nutrient Neutrality.

2 photos of the arctic both taken in the summer more than 70 years apart show the dramatic change in the continent ice cover.

You can spot the Big Eight in June 🎱🐝 #BumblebeesAreBack

Of the UK’s 24 bumblebee species, these eight are the most common. This month, many queens and workers (females) will be joined by new males 👑💼🚹

What bumblebees have you spotted so far this year? 👀

From the edge of extinction Spain and Portugal were able to save the world's most endangered cat from the brink.

We have the solutions. Implement them.

Did you know the world’s forest area is decreasing, but the rate of loss has slowed?

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate

URGENT: Distressing news has reached us: another elephant hunt has commenced in Tanzania targeting Amboseli's elephants. The Governor of Kajiado County, Kenya has voiced his concern. We now urge Kenya’s other leaders & people to urgently speak out & put an end to the killing.

@domdyer70 I weep everytime i see these pics, but you have to replace the TH industry with something. You need a deep understanding of rural economies in Africa. There are no simple answers.
