Thank you @natasharoberts85.bsky.social for this morning's #FoxOfTheDay - two cubs !

#GoodNews - given a chance, nature is brilliant at restoring #biodiversity, as in a meadow in which legumes and orchids return to what had been an arable field H/T @inkcapjournal.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Every ecosystem now has a human signature. And almost everywhere…it’s trash.

My latest Substack is out now. Something different this week, linking my #NaturesRights Bill with a #resilience debate. Plus a takedown of the foundations of claims for carbon capture and storage nataliebennett.substack.com/p/change-eve...

Wildlife is at risk as demand for cropland and water grows to feed a 50% rise in farmed animals, campaign alliance says. @fionaharvey.bsky.social reports for @theguardian.com:

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...

A weaker monsoon does not mean lower disaster risk. @icimod.bsky.social warns hotter, drier conditions can still fuel landslides, flash floods, fires, poor air quality & water stress across South Asia’s mountain communities. ✍️ @cbhattacharji.bsky.social @cleanairfund.bsky.social 📖⬇️ & 🔁🙏

High Court rules previous laws and regulations allowing gene-edited products into the food supply without labelling are unlawful and irrational. A Huge thanks to Beyond GM, for fighting for this judicial review and congratulations on the successful outcome.

A crucial issue: deregulation by stealth, which could expose us to a greater range of hazardous chemicals than the EU permits, contrary to government promises. We at Fighting Dirty are suing. We need your help. Please see crowdfunder in next post. Thank you 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

After years of campaigning we finally have a natural history GCSE. This qualification, which @carolinelucas.bsky.social championed, will help prepare young people for careers in restoring nature. These are jobs which we desperately need for the health and wellbeing of our society. #NaturalHistory

Business as usual takes a species to the brink of extinction; enormous ongoing effort is required simply to keep it there.

This is a historic moment: the first time the rights of Nature have entered the UK parliamentary process. The Bill recognises Nature as a legal subject, reorders the hierarchy of rights, creates a duty of care towards Nature and embeds Nature’s rights into UK decision-making across all sectors.

And in the UK. AI is not "in the cloud", but very much down to earth, with #ClimateEmergency and other serious environmental impacts www.politico.eu/article/big-...

How much louder do the experts have to shout before the government listens on #FoodSecurity? No, we can't just rely on "the market", we need to produce far more of our own, and stop the #FoodWaste of #FactoryFarming www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Westminster bubble is excitedly speculating and gossiping about the new Mandelson messages and what this means for their own careers. We have broken politics. We need a modern, democratic, functional constitution and a different political culture. #Mandleson #Westminster #ChangeEverything

The debate is never just about pipelines. It is about whether industrial growth continues taking precedence over the biological systems that still sustain life along the Pacific coast. This is what happens when the food web beneath a predator begins to fail.

How little we understand about complex #biodiversity. "This process, long attributed primarily to fish physiology, may depend on a previously unrecognized microbial partnership." We need to #Unlearn 20th-century reductionist thinking phys.org/news/2026-05...

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

"Tardigrades can adjust thermal conductance to protect themselves from heat". Such amazing creatures. "Could serve as inspiration for design of new materials and technologies." Reminder that nature still outstrips human inventions phys.org/news/2026-05...

Quite a few people seem to have sucked up government propaganda about objections to infrastructure schemes being vexatious and unnecessary. The whole point of the planning system is to assess whether or not they are. Do away with large parts of it and you do away with some crucial decision making.

Dry soil running through a farmer’s hands. Industrial wind turbines in the background. And a story framed entirely as economics and weather. Modern systems are simultaneously becoming more technologically sophisticated, less resilient, less productive, and more fragile.

There's an exceptionalist belief that the UK's immune to the worst political extremes. In reality, we were lucky not to get a fascist government in the 1930s. Now that the world's richest man supports our most extreme political party, we need more than luck. We need to get the money out of politics.

Great @easterngreenparty.bsky.social event - we've grown so much, and with so much more to do, with a lot of huge elections coming up in the Eastern Region in the next 12 months. So many opportunities to #VoteGreen and #GetGreensElected, while stopping Reform www.echo-news.co.uk/news/2613586...
