3 years since I wrote this. Finally Defra's announced it'll move to ban lead in ammunition after a 3-year transition. A win for the environment & food chain. Expect those with vested interests to lobby & seek to dilute the legislation as much as possible ecolelogical.com/2022/05/23/l...

Common sense prevails.

Fabulous news. It's not over yet, but this is genuine progress. Huge thanks to @wildjustice.bsky.social and @badgertrust.bsky.social wildjustice.org.uk/general/lega...

The annihilation of great white sharks has led to an increase in seals, etc, and an associated decline in the fish that those species feed on, illustrating the ripple effect of losing a top predator. When will we learn? Ecosystems just don't work without top predators. phys.org/news/2025-03...

After a tip-off from a wild camper, we went to investigate a recent moorland burning incident on Dartmoor this weekend. It's in an SSSI & SAC, on peat over 40cm deep, & on land belonging to... Alexander Darwall. So did @naturalengland.bsky.social, DEFRA and Darwall give permission for this burn?

Good news that @wildjustice.bsky.social have been given all 5 grounds to challenge the lawfulness of a planning decision by Pembs Coastal National Park Authority. We travelled to Cardiff to hear the renewal hearing. Some members of @cadwceibwr.bsky.social joined and the wildlife came too 🦭

That 23% drop in the number of English farms from 2005 to 2023 is worth unpacking a bit, because the data tell a completely different story to the ones the Lib Dems want you to believe. Farms are measured according to size of farmable land, with the smallest farms measured being less than 20ha 🧵1/6

Prof Dominick Spracklen just explained on @channel4news.bsky.social how reintroducing 167 wolves in the Scottish Highlands could reduce red deer population enough to boost woodland regeneration, leading to 1 million tons of CO2 sequestred per year. 🤞 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thank you to the RSPB @rspb.bsky.social for your recent support for our petition to ban driven grouse shooting. Our stances on this subject differ, but we agree that illegal killing of birds of prey & burning of peatland need to stop. This support helped us cross 60k signatures. Thank you! 1/3

Our petition has now passed 60,000 signatures, and is heading steadily for 65K. Every name added draws us closer to a parliamentary debate. Please sign and share! ➡️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social @ruthtingay.bsky.social

Banned in household pipes in 1970, angling in 1986, paint in 1992 and fuel in 2000, yet still being served up in your dinner in 2025. Because shooters dont care enough to stop using lead and Government won't stop them. youtube.com/watch?v=6yKK...

Good to see a more measured article on Forestry & Land Scotland culls of #WildBoar in Scotland, compared to those in Nov/Dec last year - rangers trained to test dead boar for ASF "which has never been identified in the UK but has been spreading in Europe" www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-n...

We can easily spare a tenth of England for nature without affecting food production! 20% of our land produces just 3% of our food. Vast swathes of our uplands are owned by about 150 wealthy landowners who use it for shooting grouse, and set fire to our biggest carbon sink, our peat bogs...

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

This is excellent news. Let's hope the £17-£20 million saved from the national police budget is used to chase down those certificate-holding gamekeepers who continue to illegally shoot and kill birds of prey in the UK. #raptorresearch #wildlifecrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/01/20/l...

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Language matters. Words like "sly", "vermin" and "pest" have no place in any acceptable narrative when it comes to wildlife. Unless as a description of those persecuting it.
