King Charles’s new film ‘Finding Harmony’ is out today on Amazon Prime Video. If you feel our world is in need of some different big ideas, then it’s certainly worth watching. Get a feel for what it’s about from the trailer. m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_jB...

Disinformation around climate action is surging just as threats escalate. Governments can’t sit by in silence while public understanding is undermined. Resilience comes from honest communication. Time for a televised emergency briefing. MPs please sign: www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

Periodic assessment of internationally important species & habitats out today presents further confirmation of the need to up the tempo & scale of efforts to recover Nature in England. Just 3 per cent of habitat types found to be in favourable state assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/697206e6…

During the 1990s environmental damage was projected in the future to cause mass migration, food price increases, disease & extreme weather, among other things. We are living now in the beginning of that future. Taking action is vital for national security. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An across-government technical assessment published today recognises that "nature is the foundation of national security" and that "every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse". A rational response to this would be to get very serious about nature recovery. www.gov.uk/government/p...

We were delighted to welcome Prof Sallie Bailey and Dr @tonyjuniper.bsky.social from @naturalengland.bsky.social to our Wallingford site this week. A great opportunity to build our strategic relationship, ensuring strong alignment between their evidence priorities and our research 🔍🧪🌱.

A lot of what is said about Nature holding up development is simply not true. It’s wrong. False. At best misleading. If you’ve heard that newts are a cause of our national housing shortage, read this from @naturalengland.bsky.social naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/01/14/b...

Looking forward to joining colleagues at the Oxford Real Farming Conference to discuss ‘Landscape Recovery’ These innovative new schemes have the potential to bring major multiple positive impacts Come along to hear from speakers about work in progress 16.00, 8 Jan, Story Museum, Oxford

I was delighted to have a chat with Jim Al-Khalili to share my ‘Life Scientific’. Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Tuesday 23rd at 9.00am. Repeat on Christmas Eve at 15.00.

Why are we failing on climate change and biodiversity despite fifty years of campaigning? Could social inequality be the root cause undermining all our conservation efforts? In this episode, I talk with @tonyjuniper.bsky.social about his latest book 'Just Earth'. 🌍 🎧➡️ pod.fo/e/35954e

The climate crisis won’t wait — and neither will we. EU countries have agreed on a new, ambitious climate commitment under the Paris Agreement. At #COP30 in Brazil, Europe stands united, delivering on its climate promises ↓

Delighted to see that the great Mark Cocker has chosen ‘Just Earth’ to include in the Spectator’s Books Of The Year round up. What a good place for that book to be highlighted.

Marvellous. They are in Logan’s Meadow nature reserve. I have found the odd half eaten big fish by the boathouses and thought it was probably signs of Otter. Excellent to get an actual sighting and picture. Really great 👍

The huge biodiversity gains from restoring farm #ponds. Major evidence coming in from studies at our Heydon restored pondscape, Norfolk, eastern England @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @fwageast.bsky.social @farmwildlifeuk.bsky.social @brecksfarmerswn.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @epcn.bsky.social

En route to #sheffield for an event with my book ‘Just Earth’ at the Off The Shelf literary festival. I will be in conversation with Prof Joanna Gavins & I believe there are some tickets left if anyone fancies coming. Begins at 18.00. offtheshelf.org.uk/events/just-ea…

I’ve just finished reading the hardback version… HIGHLY recommend that everyone should read this. Thrivalism cannot come soon enough. If you care about people and the planet, this book will resonate and educate.

If anyone would like a paperback copy of ‘Just Earth’, @Waterstones are offering pre-orders with 25% discount.

The extraordinary and hopeful JUST EARTH from leading environmentalist @tonyjuniper.bsky.social identifies the real problem at the heart of the climate and nature crises: inequality. Don't miss the paperback edition.

"Looking after nature is the biggest no-brainer for the economy the world has ever seen." The words of @tonyjuniper.bsky.social This legend of conservation is coming to Knepp for an author supper on Thursday 16 November. He'll be talking about his new book 'Just Earth'. 📽️ World Economic Forum

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

The release of this new film in early 2026 should create quite an impact, in setting out the seriousness of the ecological challenges now upon us, while inspiring understanding as to the positive choices we can make in meeting them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

In case you missed it: lots of amazing and heartening pond restoration going on. Research is likely to confirm that seeds "lost" in the bottom of filled-in ponds can remain viable for 100s of years so ponds and their aquatic plants leap back to life. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In the past decade alone, the richest 1% have gained $33.9 trillion. That’s enough to end global poverty - 22 times over. Read the new Oxfam report: oi-files-d8-prod.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/...

Wonderful to be at the Wild Summit today. A real sense of common cause across a vast range of organisations & people. I said that Nature can be recovered, if we bring people & diverse sectors together in partnerships, integrate policy & foster a Nature positive culture, & it’s already starting.

Pleased to share that my review of @tonyjuniper.bsky.social's Just Earth has been published in @britishwildlife.bsky.social's recent print edition. You can find it online here: bit.ly/4p7JU7c

So good to see Sir Partha Dasgupta & to chat about his excellent 2021 report for HM Treasury on the economic value of Nature. Striking to hear from this world-leading economist about the limitations of conventional economics & the concept of ‘growth’ as we degrade Earth’s systems

A pond restored in 2015. Stunning structural complexity & very high biodiversity in its 3 planty zones. Right in the middle of an arable field but no drainage in & a good buffer. Farming & conservation working together. This is what we MUST DO! @wildernorfolk.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social

One more step for Nature recovery in England marked with an extension to the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve in Yorkshire. This beautiful area hosts a wealth of scarce wildlife. The Natural England team is very proud to work with such wonderful partners in making this happen.

Sunday book review: Just Earth by @tonyjuniper.bsky.social Publisher: @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social Review: markavery.info/2025/08/31/s... 'A riveting read and a convincing analysis of the problem' #naturewriting #sustainability #wildlife #biodiversity #climate

Thank you Mark for reading it, & for writing up a view on it. I’m delighted you liked it.

Very pleased to see a review of ‘Just Earth’ from Mark Avery. Mark has been involved with all these tricky ecological subjects for about as long as I have, so good to have his thoughts on this book (which was quite hard to write, although hopefully not hard to read) markavery.info/2025/08/31/s...

The snake oil salesman got his way once - the result was a disaster. Don’t let him do it again

This October, I’m curating a strand of the Off the Shelf festival called Human/Nature. I’m very excited to be talking to @tonyjuniper.bsky.social on 18th about his book ‘Just Earth: How a Fairer World will Save the Planet’. Details👇 offtheshelf.org.uk/events/just-... @sheffielduni.bsky.social

England’s newest National Nature Reserve is declared: Stiperstones Landscape in Shropshire. 11th of 25 NNRs to be declared in the King’s Series, this one is over 1500 hectares of heath, woods, grassland & bog set atop dramatic geology. Thanks to all partners for this landmark moment.

An uplifting event today at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust’s Brandon Marsh nature reserve to celebrate progress made via the most recent round of Species Recovery Programme funding disbursed by Natural England. Thanks to the many partners & volunteers who are delivering practical impact on the ground.

Into the field today with colleagues from Natural England & Anglian Water to visit locations around the proposed Fen Reservoir. Good to discuss how improving water security can go hand-in-hand with Nature Recovery & local social benefits. Evidently much potential for big gains.

Encouraging news on the journey toward the White-tailed Eagle’s recovery in England. Excellent work by various folks to get to this point, especially Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation & Forestry England. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fascinating visit with Natural England colleagues to the vast Sizewell C construction site in Suffolk. Impressive progress being made in integrating Nature recovery with development. Major infrastructure for low carbon, while at the same time going high Nature. It can be done.

EVENT | Don't miss @tonyjuniper.bsky.social in conversation with Christina Coleman, talking about about his book Just Earth and the challenges at the heart of the environmental crisis. 📆 10th September 🕖 7pm 📍 Fletching Church Learn more and get your tickets now: bit.ly/3ULN56u

Great to join Natural England colleagues at Langford Lowfields by the River Trent to see how a partnership between TarmacLtd & RSPB is transforming the impact of sand & gravel extraction to benefit Nature. Many lessons as to how new housing & infrastructure can be harnessed for Nature recovery

Underlining a crucial point running through the work of @wid.world and, in his latest book, @tonyjuniper.bsky.social . Using tax and regulation to ‘level down’ even just a tad might help…

"As we face the global climate and nature crisis, it would be unwise to regard the contribution of Indigenous people and local communities as a sideshow to the main event of technology and ecosystem markets." #ClimateCrisis @tonyjuniper.bsky.social

Very good to be in the Northwest with the Natural England team to declare another National Nature Reserve - Risley, Holcroft & Chat Moss NNR. Home to the industrial revolution, the new NNR expands the green infrastructure needed for the ecological revolution that must get underway. t.co/6nXK9fcS5x

Tree planting scheme would cover this plot with high density trees, most of which would die (wasted) while competing to rapidly develop dense canopy, quickly losing this flora & insects. Tree planting guidelines are far too dense, driven by natural forestry/timber metrics, not woodland biodiversity.
