Good news for #rewilding enthusiasts. Like the Iberian lynx, the bone-breaker is coming back from the brink of extinction in Spain. In the 1980s there were 30-40 bearded vultures. Now there are 1000! Source: @fbiodiversidad.bsky.social @FCQorg, @mitecogob on X

Hawaiian crows are extinct in the wild and are found nowhere else on Earth. Now, a small group, safeguarded in captivity, has been released in the forests of Maui.

Thank you to the RSPB @rspb.bsky.social for your recent support for our petition to ban driven grouse shooting. Our stances on this subject differ, but we agree that illegal killing of birds of prey & burning of peatland need to stop. This support helped us cross 60k signatures. Thank you! 1/3

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.

Public service announcement: if you like Mogwai and haven’t got our new album yet please pick it up today or tomorrow to save us the indignity of slipping behind Ed Sheeran in the charts. Ta x

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds. Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

Keir Starmer, your government promised bold action on climate and nature - but this isn’t it. ❌ It’s a move that risks tearing up our chances for a future where nature, people, and the economy thrive.

Calling a person the “leading guerrilla rewilder” on BBC News is quite the interesting thing.

🦇 Please do not disturb hibernating bats. Not only is it illegal to do so but it can endanger their chances of survival as they can use vital fat reserves when they become active unnecessarily. If you find a bat in an exposed location please follow the advice on our website: https://buff.ly/47OkUZN

Attracting younger non retired volunteers is always going to be difficult if you can’t work around their working life when you expect them to work around yours. Having been on both sides I do understand but volunteer managers just have to be more flexible if volunteers are wanted.
