To Lindisfarne NNR with the @naturalengland.bsky.social team to see efforts for breeding shorebirds. Public engagement & long-term monitoring vital for success. It’s not glamorous or high profile, but positive results being achieved with very modest public investment. Well done everyone.

An encouraging reaction from the United States Congress to the part in HM King Charles’s speech where he touches upon the vital importance of Nature for our prosperity & security. m.youtube.com/shorts/EUGG-...

Back from a special visit to Assisi to mark publication of the Italian edition of HM’s ‘Harmony’. No better place as celebrations to mark 800 years since the life of St Francis take place. Placing Nature at the heart of things is not a new idea & ‘Harmony’ charts how we got to where we are now.

A Red Kite over Big Ben this morning. Close to extinction in Britain not so long ago, this is one of our most successful species recovery efforts to date. We can do a lot more of this kind of thing, & @naturalengland.bsky.social we’re excited about new work in the pipeline for many others.

Well done @camcitco.bsky.social. Habitat improvement at Logan’s Meadow nature reserve really bringing good results. Found a couple of Water Rails in there today. Amazing for a small urban reserve. Just goes to show what’s possible with a bit of thought. Otter in there as well. Great work (sound on).

Looking forward to being in this part of Scotland again in May. Hopefully I’ll see a few BlueSkyers in person there then…

The brilliant Just Earth from @tonyjuniper.bsky.social explores the issue that truly lies at the heart of the climate and nature crises: inequality. It's out in paperback TODAY so make sure you grab your copy!

From the heights of Horsenden Hill all the way to the banks of the Thames 🌳 We’re planning a massive new West London Regional Park equivalent to the size of 2,500 football pitches. More space to breathe, more places to play.

Paperback copies of ‘Just Earth’ arrived today. Thank you @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social for such a nice job on the cover & production. It seems like the subject matter is even more pressing than it was when the hardback was published just a year ago.

I’m so touched to be recognised by the @bristoluni.bsky.social with their 2026 Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award. The picture of me as an undergraduate in the early 1980s presents a vivid reminder of just how long I’ve been involved with this work! www.bristol.ac.uk/alumni/alumn...

The Earth is flat, the Moon is made of cheese & looking after Nature harms the economy. Well put Ruth. Nature IS the economy.

King Charles’s 2010 book ‘Harmony’ is coming out in paperback soon, to coincide with his film ‘Finding Harmony’, which was released on Amazon Prime last week. The film is great, & the book an excellent read to go with it. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Dr Tony Juniper CBE @tonyjuniper.bsky.social from @naturalengland.bsky.social delivers the symposium keynote A century of transformation: plotting Nature's recovery from the 1970s to the 2070s. #RLASSymposium #LandscapeScale #Nature 🌍

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.

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...
