'When I’m out in nature, especially when I’m alone, I feel a really strong spiritual connection with the natural world on which we depend'. (Jane Goodall)
@ret_ward About five times as much land in England that is generating power from solar grows maize for electricity generation in anaerobic digesters. Carbon is being lost from soils under maize & much less electricity is being produced per acre compared with solar. I’d say solar IS better.

This is how I remember him. Among his beloved elephants. Dedicated. Immensely kind, and very brave.
Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton: We have lost one of the very best of us.
An outstanding elephant conservationist, he transformed our understanding of African elephants through his groundbreaking research, and helped lead a global movement to protect them.

Cop30 shows we need real climate action, fast. Choosing not to fly is hard, but many travellers say slowing down gave them more, lower emissions and a bigger sense of purpose. Overland travel is better for the planet and the experience.

@SteveReedMP I don't think you and your government realise how much the British people value their wildlife. Your rhetoric against bats, newts, swifts etc is not wise from any angle.
@RachelReevesMP One of my priorities is protecting nature and our environment. It's shameful that you seem to be proud of 'ripping up' planning laws: they are there for a purpose! Labour's planning bill, which allows developers to trash nature, is a disgrace.
The planning bill is already causing harm to our most protected habitats!! @DrewSmithVistry homes have brought bulldozers in to a SSSI wetland claiming they are talking to government ministers to remove conditions to not harm the wetland

There are lots of us who are very angry at the government's dismantling of environmental protections & total lack of interest in protecting - let alone restoring - nature. We need the WTs & RSPB to lead the way in protest.
