No , Natural England aren't looking to kill all the Dartmoor ponies , as disingenuous politicians across the political divide would have you believe .
A lot of hysteria about this news story over the past few days – well and truly debunked here . . . https://t.co/GOpkwE0qHF
BREAKING NEWS:
FREE THE 15....... THE 15 HAVE BEEN FREED
Steph Spyro @StephSpyro and the @Daily_Express have saved the penguins which are currently being held captive in the basement of the London Aquarium. 👏👏👏
Huge, huge, huge achievement. Hip hip hooray.
A brilliant, brilliant example of nothing more than having a clear vision, a strategic objective coupled with the guts, the ambition and determination to deliver it. Huge round of applause.
Mighty I suggest that others, especially those within the eNGO charity sector will want to take note.

@TonyJuniper Very true don’t ever underestimate gardens. Even had a water shrews in my very average garden. Mind you they really tucked into my pond inverts!
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
New research from University of Leeds & the RSPB shows that burning on grouse moors is exposing millions of people to unsafe air pollution levels.
Yet another reason to ban this 'sport'.

It’s apparently never appropriate to say this but ‘I told you so !’ In fact thats not true . . . ‘We , loads of us , from many walks of life told you so’
Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated ?

An incredible finding - never mind the roast dinner - our fruit and veg is polluted with over 100 pesticides. Industrial farming is out of control, we know these chemicals are toxic, that’s why they are used - but they are toxic not just to insects, but to humans too.
They should not be allowed in the food chain.

I'm reposting this not to vilify dogs but to ask dog owners (I'm one) to be sensitive, understanding and kind. Ground-nesting birds are in peril and this is one fairly easy and simple thing we can do to help them.
Britain's largest bird of prey is returning.🦅
We've approved a new licence to release white-tailed eagles in Exmoor National Park. This builds on the existing Isle of Wight programme led by @forestryengland and @RoyDennisWF.

Please Be Kind To Moles.
They are beneficial to soil health, acting as natural aerators and pest control by consuming lawn-damaging grubs, beetles, and larvae.
They do not eat plants, and their removal often leads to new moles occupying the vacant tunnel system, making it a futile effort.
Apart from that, it is CRUEL!
Una de las cosas más increíbles de vivir en España es el contraste que nadie te explica bien.
Conoces a personas en Estados Unidos que ganan $200, $300 mil dólares al año y que están ansiosas, exhaustas, medicadas, trabajando 70 horas semanales, sin vacaciones, sin tiempo para nada, mirando el techo a las tres de la mañana preguntándose cuándo van a poder parar.
Luego ves España…
Y ves a un tipo que trabaja de administrativo, que gana 1.800 euros al mes, que trabaja 40 horas a la semana, se toma un mes de vacaciones en agosto sin culpa, que come con calma, y se toma su café sin prisa, que los fines de semana desaparece del trabajo como si el trabajo no existiera.
Y duerme perfectamente bien por la noche.
La diferencia no es el dinero. Es el modelo. En Estados Unidos te venden el sueño de acumular. En España viven el presente sin disculparse por ello. La sanidad no te arruina. El despido no te deja en la calle sin red. Las vacaciones no son un privilegio que te ganas: son un derecho que nadie te discute.
¿Ganas menos? Sí. ¿Tienes menos? Depende de cómo midas. Porque si mides en horas de sueño, en almuerzos tranquilos, en años de vida sin ansiedad crónica, en poder enfermarte sin que te llegue una factura de $40,000… entonces la pregunta no es por qué España gana menos. La pregunta es por qué seguimos midiendo todo en función al dinero y no en función a la calidad de vida que tienes.
