@simon_schama If the criteria are that neither book nor film have to be any good, just that the film has to be better, then I'd humbly suggest the da Vinci Code.

Possibly the biggest environmental issue nobody is talking about.

Soil health underpins everything yet it’s being degraded at an alarming rate. Protecting and restoring our soils is one of the most powerful long-term investments we can make.

Damaged soils lose their function🌱

When soils become compacted, they lose the ability to function — organic matter declines, carbon is released and water can no longer be stored properly. This can lead to flooding, poor crop growth and polluted rivers.

A powerful climate solution hiding in plain sight

Just 3% of the world’s land, covered by peat soils, holds more carbon than all the planet’s forests combined. Protecting and restoring #soils isn’t a side issue — it’s a powerful climate solution.

Having had 4 sessions to look at this pitch, it's pretty obvious Somerset should be penalised.

At least 70% of UK biological records are collected by citizen scientists – we can’t assemble the evidence to power nature recovery without them.

We’ve published 3 blogs on Natural England's work with citizen science orgs across the country. See the comments for links.

Maps are vital tools in the fight against climate change.

This short film made for COP30 in Brazil explains how the England Peat Map, along with other Natural England maps, is helping us to measure and manage the natural habitats which support us all.

Together, we can unlock growth, scale up nature recovery, and strengthen national security.

Our new strategy marks a shift in how we work: from regulator to partner and enabler.

The NBN Atlas Strategy 2025–2030 outlines how we’ll make the NBN Atlas the cornerstone of the UK’s biodiversity data infrastructure, helping us better understand, protect, and enhance the natural world through data innovation and cutting-edge technology.

@PictureSporting Perhaps not as warm hearted as it sounds. Imagine the confusion and runout opportunities that might arise from 20 runners.
