This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

Powerful morning of gut-punching presentations on true gravity of #climate & nature emergency from leading scientists speaking at packed #nationalemergencybriefing. Overwhelmingly clear we can only make the necessary green transition if social justice & equity are at its heart

#OCEANS AND #FORESTS: A NEW DISCOVERY "...to see the land and sea as one interconnected ecosystem. To see that when we plant a tree, the ocean drinks. And when we lose a forest, the tide turns." #Ecology #Rewilding #Ecosystems #COP30 #Rainforests www.rainforestrecovery.org.uk/news/oceans-...

“We go to the woods not to escape the world, but to rejoin it.” To rejoin the world is to return to relationship: with place, with one another, and with the wider web of life that holds us all. It is an act of remembering that our wellbeing is intertwined with the wellbeing of the land. #Kinship

"...nine planetary boundaries. These are constraints on how we live. As long as humans, like any other animal, live within those nine constraints, we can do it forever, (...) If we pass one boundary, we should be shitting our pants. We’ve passed seven! (...) what we’ve got to do now is hunker down"

“It’s getting increasingly difficult to farm given the impacts we’re now seeing with #ClimateChange. We’ve gone from extreme #Drought to biblical #Floods and back to drought in the space of just a few years. It’s devastating and many of us in #Farming now fear for a sustainable future.” #Food

Bioregioning is a practice, a journey of connection, learning, and action... “Bioregions define the appropriate scale for regional self-reliance, responsible environmental action and human participation in the community of life.” — Daniel Wahl (2001) #Bioregionalism #Biocentrism #Kinship #Ecology

“The relationship between climate and conflict is becoming increasingly clear in our own time, so these findings aren’t just important for historians. Extreme climate conditions lead to hunger, which can lead to societal challenges, which eventually lead to outright conflict.”

🚨 New Website 🚨 “Time is running out for our precious rainforests. The fragile woods along our rainforest zone need expert care to survive. We must act now before it’s too late, to ensure a secure future for this rare habitat.” #Rewilding #Forestry www.rainforestrecovery.org.uk?fbclid=PAZXh...

It's fun how capitalists say "we can't have socialism because people don't trust the state!" Mate, we don't trust the state because it is captured by capital and serves the interest of the capitalist class. It is precisely *because* of capitalism that no one trusts the state.

100% this ⤵️ Without clear ethics & morality encoded within a culture how can it ever navigate to achieve harmony, health & happiness. Without a map, rudder & compass a ship will always become lost & break upon the rocks. #Capitalism #PostGrowth

"Are sheep so important that their needs must always trump everything else, including government targets for nature recovery? Why must farmers’ apparent intolerance of any threat to their stock be allowed to preclude the return of valuable animals like lynx? What is it that makes sheep so special?"

I’ve had enough of legacy landscapes. They’re not fit for purpose or climate savvy. We need to adapt to a new world & promote/support new food, fibre & fuel systems that are socially, economically & ecologically appropriate/viable ie they actively store carbon, build biodiversity, create resilience.
