Happy #RewildingRoundup !!! 🦋🦫🌷🌱🐞 It's been a minute since we did one of these, and I think we all need some good news right now. 🎓 The government has finally announced plans for a Natural History GCSE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to empower young people to protect the natural world.

Why Manchesterism is a politics of land: new blog by me Andy Burnham's 'place first' philosophy opens up questions of land ownership & access - from his support for public ownership & land value tax, to Manchester's history of pioneering the right to roam: righttoroam.substack.com/p/why-manche...

Watching BBC News and they just did 5 minutes with a doctor about how this heatwave is life threatening and the interviewer closed it with "well, it's just an opportunity to have ice cream for breakfast!!". Amazing clip of how the BBC seems just blissfully unaware of what is happening

Interesting podcast from earlier this month covering Andy Burnham’s attitude towards nature. A PM who listens on nature and who doesn’t buy in to the false nature vs the economy dichotomy would be refreshing. www.endsreport.com/article/1961...

Rumours circulating that knives are out for Natural England after the Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy If true, Ministers need to give their heads a wobble This is what the Tories & rightwing press tried to do two years ago; they want to gut nature protections: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

And no, 'forest' doesn't mean monoculture plantations. It means generally native, natural ecosystems. italiantimes.substack.com/p/forests-no...

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about it. I've signed a petition to stop the steal. Can you add your name too? www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...

We're thrilled that Andrew George and 35 other MPs are standing behind our ancient woodlands! These precious habitats are vanishing fast and urgently need our help. Read the motion here: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

This case highlights the extreme inequality of the law and its enforcement. "Property" rights - in a lobster - pursued all the way to a police raid & strip searches. But we can do whatever the hell we want to marine wildlife. Take one step back and it all looks mad. theecologist.org/2026/apr/28/...

I just wrote a letter for @wildcard.land's campaign to restore our ancient woodlands. Can you ask your MP to sign the motion to protect our Ancient Woodlands? We've only got till 28/04! Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/emai...

Nukes or windfarms, its all the same anti-democratic politics The climate transition demands the banning of protests and the weakening of environmental law - its neither profitable nor possible while ecology and democracy function.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

I’d like to see sphagnum and seagrass but I’m guessing they won’t make the list

“Cost” of net zero is less than the cost of a single fossil fuel price shock. Though of course net zero isn’t a cost but an investment in a healthier, liveable, more secure planet. www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Contrary to predictions, "Nature is slowing down, and its ability to regenerate is failing in the face of climate change." A new analysis finds the speed of species turnover in ecosystems worldwide has slowed by a third since the mid-1970s. 🌎🌿🧪 e360.yale.edu/features/eco...

This is so great. Over the last 12 years beavers have gone from something that governments wanted rid of and few of the NGOs cared about, to being recognised as a native species right across GB. Well done to all those who campaigned to get us here.

VOLUME RIGHT UP! Listen to the roar of frogs, the odd pipe of a toad and the whirr of a wren. All clamouring for SPRING (well, for sex).

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts! Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣 Right, let's get started... 🧵 1/

More than half of global GDP depends on nature, yet biodiversity loss is accelerating. Governments have now agreed the first global assessment focused on business. In this blog, Katie Leach outlines what it means for companies and why nature is business critical.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

This spring sees the release of a documentary about the fight to defend and extend access to nature in England and Wales. OUR LAND, directed by Orban Wallace and shot by Gallivant Film, follows the Right to Roam campaign as we trespass estates and challenge removal of rights on Dartmoor and beyond.
