Uh-oh. People, please change a little starting this week. Please.

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

The Med is experiencing a 1-in-216-billion-year sea temperature anomaly.

To grasp how rare that is:

▸ Earth is only 4.5 billion years old. For this event to occur naturally, earth would need to exist for 48x longer
▸ This is 15x rarer than the age of the universe
▸ Equally likely to win the lottery 1,500 times, in a row

This isn’t “unusual.”

It’s statistically impossible that this would occur without anthropogenic climate change.

Sometimes I’m asked ‘why do you care?’
‘Swifts are one of the oldest species on earth. They spend more time airborne than any other bird yet when they come home they come home to us. They’re on the brink. They just need a brick with a hole in it.’

@dbbovey Thank you so much for your contributions: sharing + donating!

So, the 7th of our 9 planetary boundaries was shattered 5 YEARS AGO.

Multiple timebombs ticking loudly, but our ‘leaders’ are frantically stuffing fossil fuel & corporate donations in their ears.

@KaylaS73191 @WitnessKZN That's great, just in time for this awful weather

[Ferncliffe forest wilding @Ferncliffe11]

@PennyHaw All the best for the event!

Please share our 'Save Land' appeal widely! Somewhere is that special person who can help, even if you can't.

We are actually proud to say we've started a fundraiser to save a patch of land for rewilding - you can help, easily. If not for the price of a cup of coffee, donating the equivalent of a bag of coffee beans will make a real difference! https://t.co/CjrKqafXUg

That's... pretty wild.

@ScrrreamingPink That's the perfect angle for the campaign... like ignoring the laws of physics in other ordinary everyday situations...

Then and now. . .

Tomorrow's the day!

Where would we be without the wild things? Here, a dassie (Rock Hyrax) pup peeks between boulders. Forest restoration is about so much more than tree-planting - but adding saplings for diversity and recovery can speed up the process.

Obvious, but it needs to be said: https://t.co/wTt2dn3c3J

[Ferncliffe forest wilding @Ferncliffe11]

Meet at 9.30am with a spade and gloves, and dig in! (Holes will be prepared in advance for those who aren't up for spadework.) Call Connor on 073 372 4429, whatsapp us, or send a mail to [email protected] & let us know how many people to expect and where to find us.

Come and plant trees with us on Saturday morning, March 15. There will be a healthy variety of mistbelt-appropriate species provided - but we need your hearts, your hands & your help to get them safely in the ground. RSVP essential.

[Rupert Koopman @RK_ct]

We are totes amazing with the nature. https://t.co/vwTvrkowUv.
