Interesting to note the major exception: Ireland, where native red squirrels are *gaining* ground at the expense of invasive American greys. How? The come back of another native mammal, this one a predator: the pine marten. Making ecosystems functional again is the best cure for invasive species.

Canada’s natural beauty is central to our history, our identity, and our way of life — and we’re going to protect it.

A new study by Libby Pratt and co. (Conservation Biology, 10.1111/cobi.7025 ) highlights a critical insight: people’s support for regulating the exotic pet trade isn’t driven mainly by fear of penalties — it’s driven by whether they believe the rules are fair, ethical, and consistently enforced.

"Developers will be required to install solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes in England as part of updated planning requirements published by the government." Imagine taking the energy transition seriously.
