My vote is cast. For the party proposing to do the most for climate and nature, and so the people of Wales and the planet. Summary of the positions by @cynghrairailwylltio.cymru here: rewildingalliance.cymru/senedd-elect...

Brilliant piece of really nuanced, compelling & thoughtful writing (& action) on rewilding; community, the fears, the complexities & challenge, & what's been learnt in a short time. Lovely stuff from @jon-moses.bsky.social @cynghrairailwylltio.cymru @inkcapjournal.bsky.social

Every year, seeing this blows my mind. Far side of the fence, grazed by sheep: a deadzone. Our side of the fence: full of wild native trees, flowers, insects, birds. WHY are we not giving hill farmers other livelihood options that *benefit*, instead of destroy, nature, like paying them to rewild?

"Debates about #climate change are as much about the distribution of wealth, power & authority as they are about whether or not scientists have accurately depicted the natural & human systems that contribute to CC"- Dale Jamieson In Miller & @avastmachine.bsky.social 'Changing the Atmosphere' 2001

Great e-action tool here from Welsh Rewilding Alliance - you can write to all your candidates for the Senedd election & ask what they will do to ensure we meet our targets for nature, climate and people, and in ways that positively regenerate our communities and diversify rural jobs. 🌳🦡🦎🌳🦇🦬🌳🦅🦫🌳

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Communities are watching the People’s Emergency Briefing and discussing what to do next with neighbours and MPs #EarthDay Screenings www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

There are many reasons why people might feel energised or exasperated by debates we see on television, online, and in our daily lives. But, when watching BBC Question Time from Cardiff, my own frustration was not primarily with the politics ✍️James Downs

Inkcap Journal is back. And Jon Moses has summarised our opening report, going into detail on the history of rewilding in Wales and what we think about the 'R' word. Check it out. www.inkcap.co.uk/the-welsh-ar... #nature #culture #Wales #history #life

A great event with members of the Welsh Rewilding Alliance present. Insightful discussion into the priorities for each party and where support, briefings and constructive criticism will be required post election.

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay! 🦫 The beavers released in Glen Affric this February are settling in beautifully. For the first few weeks after release, we provide extra food to keep the family together and to catch a few moments on camera! 📸 🎙️ Narration: Tobias, our Beaver Management Officer

Beavers dont kill trees, they coppice them. Here are two trees that have been beavered at Bathampton Meadows (just down the river from Warleigh Nature Reserve) that people have been worried were “killed” that are both still growing happily. Let’s talk about it.

Some excellent announcements in the Welsh Greens Party manifesto today, including plans for a Welsh Right to Roam Act, a Land Reform Act and a National Rewilding Strategy. The Greens could well end up holding the balance of power in the forthcoming Senedd elections...

It’s time for your monthly #RewildingWins! 🤩 March has been a truly wild month, showing us how rewilding is benefitting people and nature. Scroll down to read more👇 1/7

We're attending a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social event: Cymru Together: Join us at the Senedd on Earth Day. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/cymru...

This is the start of a wilder Wales 🌳 We’re proud members of the @cynghrairailwylltio.cymru, a growing movement uniting organisations, landowners, communities and decision-makers to restore thriving ecosystems, boost rural livelihoods and celebrate Welsh landscapes and our wild nature. 🧵1/2

Happy #WorldRewildingDay! 🌱 Today, we’re celebrating rewilding in all its wild and wonderful glory. Forests buzzing with birdsong. Seagrass meadows sheltering marine life. Peat bogs locking away carbon. Share this post to join the chorus of voices calling for a wilder future. #ChooseOurFuture

Very pleased to have played a role in the founding of @cynghrairailwylltio.cymru. Here's what I had to say: "Rewilding is repopulation. The answer to our social and ecological challenges is the same: we need a diversification of rural life, just as we need a diversification of habitat." /1

Rewilding will look different in Wales. But it can be a powerful tool for supporting a new era of Welsh ruralism. Repopulating our countryside while driving much needed species recovery. More on that from @cynghrairailwylltio.cymru to come. And more on that vision here:

Nature belongs in Wales 🦫 It’s part of our language, our heritage and our culture. Yet our nation is one of the most nature-depleted in the world. Rewilding can change that. Sign up to our newsletter to join the movement and help us bring Cymru back to its trees – link in our bio. #Nature #Wales

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Here’s a thread on some of the extraordinary women in my book, #GhostsoftheFarm: Farmers, Horse Breeders, Community Leaders & Change Makers, who had been all but forgotten. Their mid-life (& beyond) energy, humility & humour was an inspiration in itself… 1/21

Meet the Eurasian elk 🫎 This mighty ecosystem engineer is a major shaper of landscapes. Through their woodland foraging and wetland grazing, elk promote the natural regeneration of plants and help to create open clearings that support other species. 🧵1/3
